A small seaside town on the Mediterranean between Tetouan and Fnideq, known to the Spanish as Rincón. Together with the neighbouring Cabo Negro headland it is one of the best-known stops on the stretch of coast marketed as Tamuda Bay, and it welcomes more than a hundred thousand tourists a year. At its heart is a harbour split in two, one part for fishing boats and the other for pleasure yachts, and its royal yacht club hosts an international sailing week every year. A paved, palm-lined corniche runs along the sea with cafés and fresh-fish restaurants, some built on stilts over the water. To the south-east rises Cabo Negro, the «black cape», a quiet resort with two beaches of fine sand and a golf course that opened in 1978 with nine holes and has since been extended; its heights look out over the sea and the bay of Martil. The beaches and corniche are free. Summer is very crowded, especially in August, so book accommodation early. Grand taxis make it easy to move between Tetouan, Martil, Cabo Negro and M'diq along the coast road.
