Tangier seizes 800 beach chairs before summer rush

Tangier authorities have seized about 800 plastic chairs in 13 operations targeting the illegal occupation of public beaches, as the city moves to clear its coastline before the summer tourist season, sources told Hespress.

The campaigns focused on informal operators who rent chairs, tables and other beach equipment to visitors without authorization, limiting free access to public maritime space.

The Tangier urban area alone has recorded 13 operations so far, according to the same sources, while similar interventions have taken place in nearby coastal areas.

The crackdown follows instructions from provincial authorities to remove unauthorized structures and curb practices that disrupt beachgoers and tourists.

Attention is now turning to beaches between Tangier and Asilah, where seasonal restaurants and cafés built with wood and reeds have long occupied valuable coastal space and generated large summer revenues.
