Taghazout is a fishing village on Morocco's Atlantic coast, north of the city of Agadir. It’s known for its surf beaches. Killer Point is a powerful point break. To the south, La Source is named for the fresh water that bubbles up from the rocks. Anchor Point has barrel waves. Cafes and surf shops line the main street. Inland, Paradise Valley, on the Tamraght River, is a palm-lined gorge with pools and waterfalls.
A 30-minute drive north of Agadir takes you to Taghazout, one of the most idyllic spots on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Although it’s relatively off the radar for most tourists, this laid-back fishing village is well-known to surfers as the home of the country’s best waves. The reliable swell can be enjoyed at a variety of different surf breaks for all experience levels. There are plenty of other reasons to visit Taghazout, including perennially great weather, a friendly, chilled-out atmosphere, and an amazingly affordable array of accommodation and dining options. Above all, visitors are charmed by the simple beauty of its white-washed buildings and deep blue Atlantic views.
