Activities
Activities in Oualidia are centered around the lagoon. The beach (a few minutes’ walk
from the house) is safe and pleasant for swimming. We can organise surfing
lessons, wind-surfing, kayak, pedalo and boat trips. Fancy catching a fish
for supper? Then come on one of our fishing expeditions. Like kite-flying?
There's no better place than the sandbanks of Oualidia. If you enjoy walking,
you can follow the coastal path for miles along deserted grottoes and beaches.
Alternatively head off down the estuary where the silence is broken only by
the cries of curlews and the distant crash of surf. Birdwatching is a spring
and autumn highlight. Over 140 species of shorebird and wader have been recorded
in Oualidia, while flamingoes visit throughout the year. Oualidia is also
famous for its oyster beds, established in 1957. At the Parc aux Huitres 007
you can see the oysters being harvested and sample the produce in the pristine
waterside restaurant. On Saturdays a souk is held in Oualidia. The market
teems with farmers from outlying villages bartering over chickens, cooking
pans, sacks of flour, olives and spices.
