Bay of Tangier

The Bay of Tangier is a crescent-shaped coastal area on Morocco's northern Mediterranean coast. It extends from the port of Tangier to Cape Malabata. Travelers visit this area primarily for the seafront Avenue d'Espagne, where a line of hotels and large buildings borders the coast, providing a pedestrian route with views of the sea.

Getting There

The bay is located on the edge of the city. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk, typically taking between 10 to 20 minutes depending on your starting point.

Duration of Visit

Depending on how far you walk along the coastline toward Cape Malabata, allow 1 to 3 hours to stroll the seafront and observe the architecture and maritime views.

When to Visit

The area is suitable for visiting throughout the year. Late afternoon is a common time for walking to avoid the midday sun. Like most coastal promenades in the city, it can become crowded during weekends and peak summer tourist seasons.

Nearby Attractions

The bay's location allows for easy combination with other city landmarks. Within a short distance, you can visit:

  • Lalla Abla Mosque (1.9km)
  • French Church of Tangier (2.1km)
  • Colline du Charf (2.1km)
  • Gran Teatro Cervantes (2.2km)
