North along the coast, 50km from Rabat, is another strip of beach lined with holiday homes and beach bars, but here the currents are dangerous for swimmers. It gets busy with day trippers in summer but is deserted for the rest of the year. There are regular trains from Rabat to Kenitra, from where you take bus 9 or 15 to Mehdiya. Both of these buses (Dh6) and grands taxis (Dh10) leave from the corner of Rue du Souk el-Baladia and Ave Mohammed Diouri in Kenitra.
