Why Agadir
Rebuilt after a 1960 earthquake, Agadir is Morocco's premier beach resort: a sweeping crescent of golden sand, a palm-lined promenade, and over 300 days of sunshine a year. From a Casablanca arrival it's a short domestic hop on Royal Air Maroc, or a long Atlantic drive south past El Jadida and Essaouira. It's less about old medinas and more about sea, surf and downtime — with the rebuilt kasbah hilltop above the bay, the laid-back surf village of Taghazout just north, and the palm-shaded pools of Paradise Valley in the Anti-Atlas behind.
What to see
Highlights of Agadir.
Taghazout & the surf coast
A bohemian surf village 20 minutes north — point breaks, yoga, argan-oil co-ops and sunset cafés.
Paradise Valley
Palm-fringed natural pools and waterfalls carved into the Anti-Atlas, an hour inland — the region's best half-day escape.
Kasbah Oufella
The hilltop ruins of the old fortress, rebuilt with a cable car and sweeping views over the bay and port.

Agadir — common questions.
Is Agadir worth visiting?+
If you want beach, sun and surf rather than old-city atmosphere, yes. Agadir is the country's best resort base, with reliable sunshine year-round and easy access to Taghazout and Paradise Valley.
Is Agadir or Essaouira better?+
Agadir is sunnier, warmer and more resort-oriented with a bigger beach; Essaouira is windier but far more atmospheric, with a historic medina and ramparts. Many travellers combine both along the coast.
