Navigation references
Use the Google Maps point linked on this guide or the Plus Code Q356+X8C, Tangier. The coordinates behind our map frame are 35.7599335, -5.9392319. The official 14 km figure describes the site’s location relative to Tangier, not a verified road distance from your starting point.
Parking is not verified
We have not confirmed parking capacity, charges, opening times, a drop-off point or whether a space is included in admission. Follow on-site signage and ask the operator or your accommodation for current conditions. Do not treat a map thumbnail or a photograph as proof of available parking.
Plan the coastal loop carefully
Many drivers combine the caves with Cap Spartel and the Achakkar coast. Each stop has separate access conditions. Keep the cave visit within the published 09:00–17:00 window, and verify road or access changes locally before relying on a sunset stop.
