The coast north of Agadir is one of Morocco’s best-known surf regions, centred on the village of Taghazout. Whether you are standing on a board for the first time or refining your technique, lessons can be arranged on beaches suited to your level, where available — with the ocean setting the rhythm of the day.

What to expect
