Morocco's surf capital with waves for all levels, relaxed vibe, colorful murals, and epic sunsets.
About this experience
Taghazout is a world-famous surfing destination located just 20-30 minutes north of Agadir. This once-sleepy fishing village has transformed into Morocco's surf capital, attracting wave-chasers from around the globe with its consistent Atlantic swells, year-round sunshine, and laid-back bohemian atmosphere. The village offers breaks for all skill levels: Beginners can learn at the gentle waves of Imourane Beach (just south of Taghazout) or the long, rolling waves at Banana Point/Pointe d'Imourane. Advanced surfers head to Anchor Point (Morocco's longest wave) and Killer Point for more challenging rides. The village itself is a charming maze of whitewashed buildings covered in colourful murals, surf shops, yoga studios, cozy cafes, and budget-friendly surf camps. The sunset views from Taghazout's beach are legendary. Numerous surf schools offer lessons and board rentals, and most include transport from Agadir hotels. Even if you don't surf, the village's relaxed vibe and stunning coastline make it worth a visit. Taghazout Bay, a newer resort development just south of the village, offers upscale beachfront accommodations and restaurants[citation:3][citation:6][citation:9].
