The village in an afternoon
Taghazout is small: one main street of cafés and surf shops running down to the beach, a skate park, a couple of rooftop restaurants, and the fishing boats still pulled up on the sand. Walk it end to end in twenty minutes, then settle on a rooftop with a mint tea and watch the point breaks work. Hash Point is in front of the village; Anchor Point, the famous right-hander, is a ten-minute walk north — even non-surfers enjoy watching from the rocks at sunset.
Eating and drinking in Taghazout
The food scene punches above its weight: smoothie bowls and specialty coffee for the surf crowd, grilled fish tagines for everyone else, and seafood lunches at the simple portside grills that cost a fraction of Agadir's marina prices. Worth knowing: Taghazout village is essentially alcohol-free — a couple of licensed hotel restaurants on the Bay development serve wine and beer, but if a sundowner matters to you, plan accordingly.
Taghazout Bay and getting there
South of the old village, the Taghazout Bay development has added golf, resorts and 4.5 km of groomed beachfront — a different world, useful to know about if you want comfort with your surf trip. Getting there from Agadir: a grand taxi runs €15 – €25 one way, local buses cost a few dirhams from Agadir's bus station, or I can arrange a private transfer timed to your day. Staying in Agadir and fancy a surf taster? I'll book you a lesson with pick-up included.
