Cabo Negro is the dark volcanic headland that rises between Martil and M'diq, giving the stretch of coast its name. The promontory is pine-forested, with walking trails to viewpoints over the Mediterranean, a long-established 18-hole golf course, and some of the coast's most upscale hotels and villas. The beaches at the base — Cabo Negro beach on the north and the long Martil-side bay to the south — are among the calmest on the Tétouan coast.
