Close to the beach, a camping site that belongs to Atlantica parc has a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch or dinner or just order a cup of coffee and enjoy the horizon look of the sea. The beach is long and Imi ouaddar extends to the next small coastal town Aghroud. On the beach a fish market is located. This market buys the fish by the fishermen caught fish and distributes to stores and markets in the larger cities near Imi ouaddar. You can await the fishermen early in the morning on the beach and buy directly at the boat fresh fish. Negotiating the price is accepted, although one of the faces of the fishermen can see the hard work and then the haggling of a few dirhams is not easy. The fish can be cleaned by fishermen in exchange for a few Dirhams. Enjoying the freshest fish is the best and the healthiest way of eating in Imi ouaddar. |

The water probably comes from the mountains upstream. You'll often see people with empty bottles running that way. They fill the bottles there with delicious fresh mineral water.
