Taghazout.

Taghazout sits twenty kilometres north of Agadir, a forty-five-minute drive from the airport along the coastal N1 road. Once a quiet Amazigh fishing village, it is famous for Atlantic point breaks like Anchor Point and fresh sardines landed daily on the main beach. The village core is compact and easily walked in fifteen minutes. Taghazout is worth visiting if you want consistent right-hand point breaks and fresh fish cooked over charcoal on the slipway. Look elsewhere if you want late-night clubbing, historic monuments and museums, or wide, sheltered beaches designed for swimming rather than Atlantic surf.

It suits surfers chasing reliable Atlantic waves, travellers who prefer salt air and sandals over tour buses, and anyone happy spending afternoons on a roof terrace with a pot of mint tea and a view of peeling point breaks.
