Our holidays to Morocco's Atlantic Coast go to Agadir – where the beach is the star of the show – and Taghazout, an up-and-coming fishing village.
Welcome to the west coast
Morocco’s west is known for its sandy beaches, top surfing conditions and souvenir-filled souks. The biggest name in the area is Agadir – Morocco’s premier holiday destination, thanks to a nine-kilometre-long beach. But don’t overlook Taghazout, a fishing village that’s on the up for holidaymakers. Its beach is equally as attractive as Agadir’s, and really popular with surfers.
Agadir, where old meets new
Agadir itself was destroyed by an earthquake back in the Sixties and, rather than attempting to rebuild what was left, officials decided to start from scratch. It means the Agadir of today is filled with broad, palm-lined avenues edged by cafés and blossoming parkland. Don’t let the city’s modern face fool you, though. In its centre, you’ll come across colourful bazaars, spice-scented souks and spindly minarets.
Taghazout, the new kid on the block
The village of Taghazout’s been pinpointed as one of Morocco’s best surfing spots. The laidback vibe here is similar to Agadir, just on a smaller scale. The future plans for this place, though, are much grander, with a medina and a strip of swish new hotels on the cards. Location-wise, it’s an ideal base for trips to the blue pools of Paradise Valley and the waterfalls at Imouzzer – both are under an hour-and-a-half’s drive away.
