Good news for vacationers: Casablanca beaches become 100% free!
The Casablanca-Settat region is undergoing a decisive turning point in the management of its coastlines. Under the leadership of Wali Mohamed Mhidia, beach access will become completely free starting next summer season, putting an end to exploitation practices and monopolies.
The Wali is preparing to issue strict directives to the governors of coastal provinces. The objective is clear: block the approval of any calls for tenders related to the exploitation of maritime public domain or beach facilities. This radical decision translates into the immediate suspension of all rental procedures for summer equipment, particularly umbrellas and chairs. Direct instructions have also been sent to the mayor of Casablanca to cancel ongoing calls for tenders and find alternative organizational solutions respecting free access.

This new approach aims to break with the chaos that has plagued coastal management in recent years. Historically, certain companies systematically won rental contracts, imposing variable and arbitrary rates that weighed heavily on vacationers’ budgets. Wali Mhidia has firmly expressed his refusal to reproduce these previous schemes, considering these practices as a form of indirect "extortion" against citizens. During a board meeting of the "Casa Environnement" company, he reaffirmed that beaches must remain open spaces, guaranteeing the right to leisure for all without exception.

Established as a genuine strategic choice, this complete free access aims to rehabilitate public service. To ensure compliance with this new standard, authorities promise absolute firmness against abuses and any attempt at illegal occupation of maritime domain. The next phase will thus be marked by an unprecedented intensification of control operations and field interventions, permanently preventing informal entities from transforming the region’s beaches into semi-closed zones.
