Mohammedia to Fedala Coast Walk

The Mohammedia to Fedala Coast Walk follows the Atlantic seafront at Mohammedia, a port and beach town about 25 km north-east of Casablanca in Morocco's Casablanca-Settat region. Fedala is the older name of Mohammedia, and the walk traces the coast from the Plage de la Corniche de Mohammedia along the seafront promenade. The trailhead is reached by ONCF train from Casa Voyageurs to Mohammedia, which costs about MAD 10-15 and takes around 20 minutes, followed by a short taxi or walk to the beachfront; drivers can park along the Corniche, and no permit is required. The route is about 5 km along the seafront and takes 1.5 to 2 hours, with flat terrain, no real elevation gain and no technical difficulty. The surface is mostly paved promenade and sidewalk, with sand and rocky stretches for those who walk closer to the water. Shade is limited, and the sea breeze can hide strong sun, so sun protection matters, particularly from late spring to early autumn. Landmarks include the long town beach, the seaside cafes and restaurants, the fishing and commercial port area and the coastal views toward Casablanca. Water and food are easy to find at cafes along the front, and there are no refuge huts, though benches and cafe terraces offer rest. Walkers can turn around at any point and return by petit taxi, or by walking back to the train station. The beach is busy in July and August, when the promenade fills with local families, while spring and autumn are calmer. Visitors should avoid swimming where currents are strong and heed posted flag warnings on the beach.
