Atlantic coast
Surf, sun & argan forests
Agadir and its sweeping bay deliver 300 sunny days a year, family-friendly resorts and a seafront rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake. Up the coast, Taghazout and Imsouane gather surfers and yogis in front of legendary waves, while southward Berber Tiznit and Andalusian Sidi Ifni watch over the Anti-Atlas. Tafraoute and its pink almond trees, plus argan groves with climbing goats, complete a sunny journey.
