Taghazout
Spend 2–3 days surfing and beach‑walking; otherwise skip if you only want city sights.
Taghazout is a tiny surf village 20 km north of Agadir. The town is walkable, the main draw are the surf breaks (Anchor Point, Hash Point) and coastal hikes. A short stay of 2–3 days lets you surf, try a surf‑camp and visit nearby waterfalls; longer stays add little beyond surf lessons.
