Food on the beach

On the beaches in Morocco, it is common to see a person walking around with a large pot of coffee or tea. The tea can cost between two and ten dirhams, depending on how touristy the beach is.

Corn on the cob is sold both on beaches and in street markets. The vendors have a cart with a pot in which the corn cobs are boiled and a small grill. I prefer corn on the cob that’s simply boiled, not grilled, and without any extra salt. Sometimes it’s absolutely delicious, but sometimes it’s overcooked. Either way, it’s nice to eat something warm in the evening, especially after a swim. Corn on the cob costs just five dirhams.

Cotton candy in various colours is a common sight on the beach. I’ve also seen ice cream vendors. While we’re on the subject of sweets, there are plenty of people selling churros, which are deep-fried pastries.

Other examples of food and drink usually sold along the coast include water, soft drinks and roasted sunflower seeds.
