Attempted it back in October but the tide was too far in and the sand very soft. 2 of the group had gearbox problems so we turned back. 1 Landcruiser got through OK.

Did it fine in 2013 wen the tide was further out and we could drive on hard sand.

Check the tides times before you try.

No problems with police, in fact didn't see any for miles

Hi...

First I've heard about any law on driving next to the sea.

Both times I've been to the Plage Blanch we only saw fisherman, 4x4's and motos

News to me. How would the police follow you?

Hace un mes ha entrado en vigor en Marruecos una ley de protección del litoral, y ya ESTÁ PROHIBIDO CIRCULAR POR PLAYAS, Y ESTACIONAR Y ACAMPAR EN ELLAS. Afecta a todo el litoral, 3.500 kms de costa según Marruecos.

En concreto:
1. "está prohibida la creación de áreas reservadas para camping-caravaning o para vehículos dentro del área no urbanizable (100m desde la línea de mar). art. 20.
Quien las cree, o autorice, será sancionado con una multa de 5.000 a 100.000 dirhams (463€ a 9.257€) art. 51
.
2. " está prohibido el Camping-Caravaning y el estacionamiento de vehículos relacionadas con esta actividad en la costa fuera de las áreas reservadas e identificadas para tal efecto por el patrón regional de la costa, y en ausencia de tal patrón, fuera de las áreas creadas y equipadas para ese propósito." art. 21.
Sin perjuicio de sanciones más severas previstas en otra legislación vigente, será sancionado con una multa de 1.200 a 10.000 dirhams ( 110€ a 926€) art. 52.1
.
3. " está prohibida la circulación y el estacionamiento de cualquier vehículo en playas, cordones de dunas costeras y a lo largo de la orilla del mar." art. 33
Sin perjuicio de sanciones más severas previstas en otra legislación vigente, será sancionado con una multa de 1.200 a 10.000 dirhams ( 110€ a 926€) art. 52.3

Yes, I can read Spanish. It would have helped people's understanding about your question if you had posted that earlier.

This is aimed mainly at camping cars (motor homes) and I can quite imagine some action might be taken if you were parked up overnight on the beach at Agadir, but Moroccan police tend to be walking rather than patrolling in a car, and they would need a 4x4 to intercept someone doing 60kph driving along Plage Blanche.

I'm sure they have other, more important, things to do.

Interesting, I had wondered about parking the motorhome at an interesting spot in the dunes about a mile South of Essaouira and wondered if there would be any objections, or unwelcome attention.

I guessed that the worst would be a request to move on, or move on the next day.

Legislation tends to be produced to deal with problems and 100 French/Belgian/Dutch/British motorhomers parking on a popular Moroccan beach for three months at a time (and not contributing much to the local economy) is a problem, a single motorhome somewhere quiet isn't.

I know where you mean in Essaouira—I've explored that area on the motorbike—and I would have thought you would be OK so long as there's not a bunch of people there.
