Surfing
Agadir’s coastline has some of the world’s best surf spots such as Anchor Point, Boilers and Killers. Reefs with very long right handers and excellent beach breaks for all levels, from total beginners to experts.
A few kilometres north of Agadir, lies the fishing village and surfing mecca of Taghazout. Although Taghazout has become a surfer hideaway, the village still lives according to the local tradition yet much of the activities are related to tourism and there are many restaurants and shops around geared to travellers.
There is an excellent Surfcamp near Taghazout in Tamrhakht which is open all year, all inclusive and for all levels, offering guided tours to the best spots in the area while providing surf classes for beginners. Instructors speak perfect English, French, and Spanish and they have French Federation and Lifeguard diplomas.
Another 20 minutes up the coast there are long stretches of beach in Tamri that pick up most swell when all the other spots are flat. Getting in and out of the water is hard since here are lots of very sharp rocks (rating 5.5).
Further north you can probably find more breaks, but finding access to them is the hardest bit. South of Essaouira are some more surf spots but they are often blown out.
