Al Hoceima Β· Morocco
Exceptional underwater visibility in the Mediterranean β rocky outcrops, colourful fish, and pristine marine life framing Al Hoceima's beautiful coast.
Al Hoceima's Mediterranean location gives it some of Morocco's clearest water β visibility of 10β15 metres is common on calm days. The rocky headlands and coastal cliffs provide sheltered pools and underwater structures that attract abundant marine life, making this one of the best areas in Morocco for snorkelling without specialist equipment.
Crystal-clear water around the offshore rocky island β snorkel along the base of the PeΓ±on de Alhucemas cliffs for octopus, wrasse, sea bream, and occasional moray eels in rock crevices.
A secluded cove with exceptional underwater topography β rocky ledges, sea grass beds, and superb clarity make it ideal for exploring with a mask and snorkel.
