Cafés and restaurants by the water's edge welcome you inside, show you the local cuisine, and let your taste buds decide which of their specialties are best.
SURFER CENTRAL
Taghazout offers a wide range of enjoyable and memorable activities. The principal activities in this old fishing community—now a luxurious beachfront resort with modern amenities—include surfing and other water sports.
Taghazout stands out for its unique environment. It has simply magnificent views. Seven kilometers of beaches there are surrounded by the High Atlas Mountains and enjoy year-round sunshine. Visitors can get a glimpse of the unexpected richness of nature in the argan forest that runs alongside.
To make your stay comfortable, the resort has outstanding hotels and authentic wooden cottages. Moreover, Taghazout is a well-known surfing location. This is the perfect spot for you if you enjoy water sports. During the 1970s, strong winds have transformed the Atlantic into stunning tubes, turning this iconic location into a surfer's dream. It's an excellent location for surfers of all skill levels because of the variety of waves.

FLORA AND FAUNA
There are 250 different bird species there, including the well-known bald ibis, as well as antelopes, wild boars, and mongooses. Take a hike through this wild area for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
The rock walls of Tifnit, another location in the park, will capture your attention since they are covered in the long-abandoned, intricately carved houses of prehistoric cave dwellers. It is really breathtaking to see the greenery that is expanding, thriving, and blooming throughout the area.
After the winter, fruit-bearing trees like argan trees, which produce the famed oil, and almond trees become even more alluring. Flowers grow, supporting the local honey industry. You can learn about the know-how, the culinary tradition, and the way of life of the area by traveling along scenic routes that are dedicated to these flowers.

SANDY STRETCHES BENEATH THE KASBAH
Agadir, which has a bustling port and a beach resort extending beneath the kasbah, was entirely rebuilt after a severe earthquake struck the city in 1960. It is currently the top location in the nation for sun, beach, pubs, and pizza. Agadir's interior neighborhoods, which are covered in concrete and organized as a grid of wide streets near the city center, are industrial.
Agadir will appeal less to independent travelers and caters mostly to tourists on package tours. Family will delight in lazing on the beach and exploring the few attractions. On the beachside promenade, however, where Moroccan street activity is accompanied by a welcome sense of space, the city finds its footing.
No matter the season, the sun shines down, and the sleepy city of Agadir has a comfortable atmosphere as the trade winds begin to mellow. The sandy beach, which arcs south of the gleaming white marina, provides clear water over 10 months of sunshine annually.
