It belongs to Paradis Plage, which describes itself as the first eco-resort in Morocco.

Sunset is the point here, since the loungers face west and the light on this stretch of coast is what keeps people there past dark.
Camel handlers walk the shoreline in front of the loungers, which is an ordinary sight on this stretch rather than a set piece.
