Best Beaches of the world– Some of the world’s best beaches are to be found in Morocco. In fact, these glorious beaches can be found along the coast of the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean (yes Morocco has the best of two). It is not surprising that the rich and famous movie makers constantly arrive in Morocco for little reason whatsoever.
