Casa’s seaside suburb runs along the Atlantic coastline west of the city center, with a long beachside promenade called the Corniche flanked by bars, clubs, restaurants, and hotels. The beach itself isn’t so fantastic, especially if you’ve already been farther south, but a walk along the 3km (1 3/4-mile) beachfront boulevard de la Corniche is highly recommended.

Here you’ll see Casablanca in all its contrasting beauty, where locals dressed in the latest European fashions walk past others dressed in traditional jellabah and babouches. It’s an understandably popular stretch for families, who bring their children here to escape the confines of the heaving city’s inner suburbs.
