Whether you are into surfing or just want to unwind by the sea, Taghazout Beach provides a peaceful yet vibrant escape from the city.

Things to Know Before You Go

Taghazout Beach is famous for its surf-friendly waves, so if you're into surfing, this is the perfect spot. Even beginners can take surf lessons at the numerous surf schools available. The village has a relaxed vibe, but you’ll still find basic amenities such as cafes, restaurants, and small shops selling local handicrafts. It's advisable to bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water, especially during the summer months when temperatures can rise significantly. The beach can get crowded during peak hours, so early mornings or evenings are ideal for quieter moments.

How to Get There

Taghazout Beach is approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Agadir, and it can be easily accessed by car, taxi, or bus. The drive from Agadir takes around 30 minutes, following the coastal road for stunning views along the way. If you’re driving, the road is well-paved, and the journey is scenic. There are also shared taxis available in Agadir that can take you directly to the beach for a reasonable fare. If you prefer public transport, you can take a bus from Agadir’s bus station to Taghazout, which operates throughout the day.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Taghazout Beach is from spring to autumn (March to October) when the weather is warm and sunny. This period also offers ideal conditions for surfing, with consistent waves and pleasant temperatures. If you prefer to avoid the crowds, visiting during the shoulder months (March, April, or October) is recommended. Winter months (November to February) are quieter, but the weather can be cooler, especially in the evenings, although the waves remain great for surfers.
