Morocco: South of Spain, Long Atlantic Coast, Short Mediterranean Coast

Morocco lies directly south of Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. Its coastline spans:

• Atlantic Ocean: ~1,300 km (Tangier to Western Sahara) – long, exposed, productive fisheries.
• Mediterranean Sea: ~500 km (Tangier to Algerian border) – shorter, includes Alboran Sea.

This dual coastline shapes Morocco's climate, economy (ports: Casablanca, Tangier Med, Agadir), and strategic importance.
