About Agadir Area
Image
Text
The Agadir region, on Morocco’s west coast, takes the crown as the country’s most popular pick for a beach getaway. Its biggest draw is the 9km-long stretch of golden sand, which is dotted with lavish hotels, fun-filled waterparks, and amazing bars and restaurants. Trace the promenade and enjoy chilling on the sand or trying out the local surf. But remember to saunter back inland to uncover its characterful quarters, cute tea cafés and mystifying minarets. When you aren’t seeking souvenirs in the souks, venture to the once-laidback fishing village of Taghazout, for lashings of authenticity.
