Legzira is a remote beach in southern Morocco, famous for its dramatic natural stone arches carved from red-orange cliffs by millennia of Atlantic waves. Located 120 km south of Agadir near Sidi Ifni, it remains one of Morocco's most photogenic and least-developed beaches. One of the two original arches collapsed in 2016, but the remaining arch and the raw, sculptural coastline continue to draw visitors seeking Morocco's wilder Atlantic shores.
From Agadir, drive south on the N1 toward Tiznit, then continue toward Sidi Ifni. Legzira is signed off the main road, approximately 10 km north of Sidi Ifni. The beach is accessed via a steep path from the cliff-top parking area. Limited facilities; bring supplies.

The arch is best photographed at sunset when the red-orange stone glows. Low tide provides more beach to explore and better angles. The collapsed arch remains as dramatic rock formations. Please respect the fragile geology—do not climb on the arches or cliffs.
