Morocco's laid-back Berber surf village on the Atlantic
Taghazout is a small fishing village 18 km north of Agadir that became a global surf destination almost by accident — the right-hand point-break at Anchor Point started attracting boards in the 1960s, and word spread.
Today Taghazout balances its Berber roots with a sun-faded backpacker culture: cafés serving avocado toast next to traditional fish tagines, surf shops next to mosques, yoga retreats overlooking the Atlantic. Anchor Point, Killer Point, Boilers and Banana Beach are all within walking or taxi distance.

September to April for surfing — the swell is most consistent and the water still comfortable in a 3/2 wetsuit. Mid-June to August is hot, calm, and ideal for beginners. Avoid Ramadan if you want peak café availability.
Surf hostels and small guesthouses dominate the village; Sol House Taghazout Bay and Hyatt Place Taghazout sit at the edge for resort comfort. Most surf-camp packages include accommodation, meals, lessons and equipment.
