Beaches with different features lie in the immediate area around Mejlaw.

Sidi Mghayit: beach, activities and location
Sidi Mghayit beach is near Rmilat and 12 km south of Asilah. Rmilat provides the nearby place reference, while the distance from Asilah also locates the beach to the south. A 2014 report describes it as popular with beachgoers and families; it also notes that the high waves attract surfers and jet ski riders, among others. Swimming and wave activities feature side by side in this beach profile—two interests you can take into account when planning your trip. A 2014 description also highlights golden sand and clear water and mentions the mausoleum of the marabout Sidi Mghayit as another feature. This lets you assess Sidi Mghayit both by the beach activities mentioned and by its other described features.
Rmilat: open space and a cave
A 2014 article describes Rmilat beach as expansive and mentions a legendary cave; this characterization comes from the project initiators. A tourist information point was also set up at the beach in 2014. Compared with Sidi Mghayit, Rmilat therefore offers a different focus: open space and the cave are emphasized here, while a 2014 report mentions beachgoers and high waves there. When comparing them, you can consider whether you are more interested in a beach’s activity profile or a landscape description featuring open space and a cave.
Access to Sidi M’gait beach
Access to Sidi M’gait beach leads from the RN1 on the A1 motorway side via road No. 415, through the village of Mejlaou, then along the RN415, and finally over an unpaved track. Road No. 415 and the RN415 are two consecutive sections; the unpaved track follows them. When planning your journey, bear in mind the change from road sections to the unpaved track, and check current road conditions and accessibility before your visit.
