Agadir Beach

Souss-Massa Region Atlantic Ocean Morocco

Agadir is Morocco's largest beach resort, rebuilt in modernist style after the devastating 1960 earthquake destroyed the old town. The 10-kilometre crescent of golden sand stretches along a sheltered bay, offering calm waters and over 300 days of sunshine annually. While lacking the historic charm of Essaouira, Agadir delivers reliable beach weather, waterfront promenades, and easy access to the Souss Valley and Anti-Atlas mountains.
