Ferries leave all year for Tangier Med; the terminals are signposted from the motorway, and in summer the queue can be long, so arrive with a good margin. The town is the gateway to the province of Cádiz and the Costa del Sol.

Arriving at Tangier Med, the ferry docks in a port built on the edge of the Strait, facing the Spanish coast. Police control, customs and vehicle formalities are done on the spot, and the road then leads to the motorway for Tangier (about forty-five minutes), Tetouan or Rabat.
