A former fishing village turned easy-going surf town, Taghazout is the heart of Morocco’s surf scene — a string of world-class point breaks, boho cafés and golden sunsets just north of Agadir. Whether you’re chasing waves or just slowing down, its relaxed rhythm is contagious.
Taghazout is Morocco's surf capital, about 20–30 minutes north of Agadir. Ride world-class point breaks (Anchor Point, Killer) or learn at gentle beach breaks, join a surf & yoga camp, and unwind in the boho village with a side trip to Paradise Valley. Great year-round.
Getting there & around
Taghazout is an easy hop up the coast:
- From Agadir — about 20–30 minutes north by taxi or transfer
- Airport — Al Massira (Agadir) is the nearest, with many direct flights; camps often arrange pick-ups
- Around the village — everything is walkable; the breaks line the coast just north and south
What to do
- Surf the point breaks — legendary right-handers like Anchor Point, Killer Point and Panorama draw surfers from around the world.
- Learn to surf — gentle beach breaks and friendly schools make it ideal for first-timers.
- Surf & yoga camps — combine waves, yoga and rooftop sunsets at one of the village’s many camps.
- Paradise Valley — a short trip inland to palm-shaded pools and waterfalls in the argan hills.
- Beach-hop — mellow days at Tamraght, Banana Beach and the wide bay toward Agadir.
When to go
Taghazout surfs year-round. Autumn through spring brings the bigger Atlantic swells the points are famous for, while summer is mellower and warm — perfect for beginners and beach days.
