Beaches in Agadir: The Complete Guide (2026)

Agadir is built around one of Morocco’s best city beaches, and more sandy coves line the coast just north. If you’re here for the sea, here’s a guide to the beaches in Agadir and nearby — the calm family bay in town, and the surf beaches up the coast.

Agadir Beach (the main bay)

The city’s headline beach is a wide, gently curving bay of golden sand backed by a long palm-lined promenade. It’s clean, easy to reach from the hotel district, and generally calm and shallow near the shore — good for families, swimming and long walks, with cafés and beach clubs along the front. The Atlantic keeps the water refreshing rather than warm; it’s at its most comfortable in summer and autumn. Planning families? See our best family beaches in Agadir.

Surf beaches north of the city

Head up the coast road and the vibe shifts from resort bay to surf coast:

• Taghazout & Tamraght (Banana Beach): the heart of Morocco’s surf scene, with point breaks and beginner-friendly beach breaks. See our Taghazout surf town guide.
• Imi Ouaddar & Aourir: quieter sandy stretches north of Agadir, popular with surfers and day-trippers.

When to go to the beach

Agadir is sunny most of the year, so beach days are possible even in winter, though the sea is cooler then. For warm water and reliable sun, aim for summer to early autumn — see our Agadir weather & best time to visit guide.

Beach tips

• The Atlantic has surf and currents on the exposed beaches — swim where it’s calm (the main bay) if you’re not a strong swimmer.
• Sun protection year-round; there’s little natural shade on the open sand.
• Beach clubs and cafés line the Agadir promenade for food, drinks and loungers.
