Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Most of the key tourist areas are easily accessible by foot, with a walk into the centre of town taking approximately 20 minutes from the beach. If you don’t fancy the walk, local buses are cheap but can get very busy during the peak season. Petits taxis are also a convenient and popular choice, but ask them to turn the meter on before you shut the door.
Learn to Surf
Agadir's calm, safe and golden Blue Flag beach is undoubtedly the main attraction. Travel a couple of kilometres south along the coast and you'll arrive at Tamraght Beach, a laid-back stretch where you can learn how to surf, windsurf, kite surf and more at one of the seaside schools. For those who are adept at riding the waves, head to nearby Taghazout and surf breaks such as Hash Point, Anchor Point and La Source where the waves are a little more challenging. If you don't fancy taking a dip, watch the surfers from one of the chilled beach cafés instead.
See the Medieval Fortress
If you're a sucker for sights, climb to the medieval hilltop fortress of Kasbah and soak up stunning views of Agadir and its golden coastline. Dating back to 1540, all that remains of Agadir's captivating castle today is its sturdy walls and entrance. Enjoy a stroll around the fortress' remnants and imagine the scene when Berber tribes roamed the terrain.
Live it Up with Lively Evenings
Agadir's lively nightlife is another reason why this exotic, sun-soaked resort just keeps on getting more popular. The town boasts restaurants, clubs and bars perfect for friends and family. For a romantic evening of entertainment, Orange Cafe is situated in a quaint fountain courtyard complete with chilled Arabic electronica on the stereo. Experience an authentic Moroccan evening with sunken floors, cushioned seating and magnificent music along Boulevard du 20 Aout and Rue du Oued Souss or for a big night on the town check out Le So, Agadir's multi-storey club. Papa Guyos is another popular nightclub tucked inside Hotel Riu Tikida Beach, with after-midnight music from international DJs.
Shop at The Grand Souk
No trip to Agadir is complete without a stroll around the souks. Agadir’s most impressive market is the Souk el Had, situated in a massive walled enclosure on Rue Chair al Hamra. You can find everything in this old market from fruits, vegetables and spices to clothes, shoes and souvenirs. The best days to visit are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, when the souk tends to be a little less crowded.
