Tangier Beach Crackdown: Illegal Squatters Evicted Before Summer

Attention is particularly focused on the long coastal strip separating the cities of Tangier and Asilah.

These operators illegally erect restaurants and cafés using wood and reeds, thereby securing substantial financial income during the summer season.

The local administration is committed to actively combating any form of occupation of the maritime public domain. This mobilization aims to clean up the areas of all nuisances that traditionally spoil the tranquility of Moroccan vacationers and foreign tourists.
