Taghazout Village

The fishing village that became Morocco's surf capital — a cluster of whitewashed houses on a headland above the Atlantic, 18 kilometres north of Agadir. The surfers arrived in the 1970s. The guesthouses followed. The village retained its structure: the main street, the fish market at the port, the café where the fishermen and the surfers have coexisted for fifty years. The Taghazout Bay resort development to the south is a different place entirely.
