Oyster Farms
If you love seafood, and oysters in particular, then you're in the right place, as Oualidia is known as the oyster capital of Morocco. The oysters raised here originate from the Marennes-Oléron region of France. The first samples were shipped here in the 1950s, and the Oualidia oyster farm is now the most advanced in all of Morocco.
Surfing
If you've always wanted to learn how to surf, now's your opportunity. The lagoon offers a very safe environment for beginners to learn on small waves, and seasoned professionals will provide you with equipment and training. If you've got experience, and want a challenge, you can always take on the larger waves outside the lagoon.
Bird Watching
The Oualidia lagoon creates a paradise for both migrating and resident birds who rely on the water, including flamingos, waders, egrets and herons. Take a ride on a boat during high tide to see an incredible variety of bird species up close. Enjoy a leisurely day spent exploring and appreciating the vibrant, exotic bird life.
