Overview
Discover Agadir
Agadir is Morocco's main beach resort, built around a wide, sheltered bay with a long promenade. Rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, it is modern rather than historic — the attraction is sunshine, the ocean and a comfortable base for exploring the south.
Just north of the city, the fishing-village-turned-surf-hub of Taghazout and the palm-filled gorge of Paradise Valley are easy half-day escapes.
