    Holidays to Agadir and Taghazout on Morocco's Atlantic Coast hinge on the beaches and all the goods that come with them – like watersports and restaurants.

    West Coast wonders

    Morocco’s west coast rustles up some seriously good holiday hotspots. Like Agadir – known for its ultra-long golden stretch of sand – and Taghazout, a fishing village that’s starting to make a pretty solid name for itself. They’re only a 30-minute drive apart, so no matter which one you vacay at, you can easily go on a jolly to the other.

    An A-star beach

    The main beach is the hub of everything in Agadir. As far as sandy beaches go, this one’s a good’un. It’s more than five miles long, so there’s plenty of elbow room. Plus, watersports are in good supply. There’s just as much space on the palm-sprinkled prom behind, too – even with the bevy of street performers and sellers that drop by.

    Agadir’s mini-me

    Taghazout’s a dinky version of Agadir, so it’s a perfect destination if you want the sand, souks and swish hotels but on a smaller scale. The vibe’s totally chilled, plus there’s plenty by way of shopping in the posh medina. There’s lots to do nearby, too. You can zip over to the Insta-ready Paradise Valley in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains in half an hour, or hit the surf at Banana Beach – a 10-minute drive south.

    • Moroccan beaches

      Fringing Morocco’s Atlantic coast, the beaches around Agadir come super-sized. The swathes of amber-coloured sand are massive, and the sea breezes in these parts mean they’re some of the best spots in the world for wind and kite surfing. If the watersports side of things doesn’t appeal, there’s plenty happening on dry land, too, from camel rides to fresh seafood stalls overlooking the ocean.

    • The big beach

      Unsurprisingly, Agadir itself has the most popular beach. It stretches for a massive 9 kilometres and draws everyone from sun-hungry holidaymakers to football-playing locals. At one end you’ll find the marina, where you can watch fishermen haul in the day’s catch, which sand-side stalls will then barbecue for you.

    • The secret beach

      If you’d rather have a quieter spot, head for Kilometre 25 Beach. It’s 25 kilometres from Agadir – hence the highly original name. It’s a pretty rough and ready spot, with a rugged stretch of sand and crashing waves. But it’s perfect if you’re looking for a little seclusion – you’ll often just be sharing the sand with the seagulls.

    • Bargain Buys

      Souk Al Had is set around a big square, and sells everything from fruit and veg to handcrafted souvenirs. Prices might seem a little steep at first, but be prepared to haggle and you’ll come away with spices and carved wooden boxes for Poundland prices. Another bargain buy to look out for is Argan oil. Made from the berries of the Argan tree, it’s great for nourishing your skin and strengthening hair and nails.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      A lot of what’s sold in Agadir isn’t made in the area, which means you can pick up some great buys from all over Morocco without leaving town. In the two-storey Municipal Market, you can snap up leather purses and bags from Marrakech, tagine pots from Fez and silver from Tiznit.

    • Designer Buys

      Admittedly, Gucci or Prada are yet to buy floorspace in Agadir, but there are still some really good shops – Zara, Lacoste and the like – around the marina and along Boulevard 20 Aout. For souvenirs that are a cut above, head just out of town to Le Medina d’Agadir. Created by an Italian architect, it’s a recreated Berber village packed with tiny artisan shops.

    • Laid-back evenings

      For a night at the quieter end of the spectrum, head to Agadir’s smart marina and take your pick of upmarket bars and restaurants. There’s also a good selection of tourist-friendly places to eat along Boulevard 20 Aout and Boulevard Hassan II.

    • Lively evenings

      Agadir’s partying scene mostly revolves around hotels. The one that really draws the crowds is Papagayo, at the Hotel Riu Tikida Beach. Another good spot is Flamingo, at the Agadir Beach Club. There’s no rush to get to either, though – things don’t tend to get going ‘til around midnight.

    • Seafood tagine

      The granddaddy of Morocco’s food scene has to be the tagine. Named after the cone-like pot they’re cooked in, these aromatic stews are packed with spices and served with couscous. In Agadir, seafood tagines are the big favourite thanks to the town’s coastal address.

    • Harira

      This traditional soup is a bit like an Italian minestrone. It’s made with chickpeas, lentils, tomatoes and spices like saffron and ginger, and is real stick-to-your-ribs stuff. Usually you’ll find it on the breakfast menu during Ramadan. It’s a bit of a favourite at Moroccon weddings, too.

    • Sardines

      Thanks to its spot on the seafront, Agadir does a good line in fresh seafood. Sardines are one of its specialties – head to one of the stalls by the port and have them grilled or barbecued to order.

    • Pastilla

      Paper-thin filo pastry is an essential ingredient in loads of Moroccan dishes, but this sweet-and-savoury pie is a particularly good example. It’s traditionally filled with pigeon, eggs, almonds and loads of spices, then baked and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. You can also get it filled with chicken or fish if pigeon’s a step too far.

    • Mint tea

      The heady scent of fresh mint is everywhere in Morocco because the ritual of sitting down for a glass of super-sweet mint tea is big in these parts. Moroccans like their tea bubbly, so the traditional silver teapots have curved spouts so liquid can be poured from a height.
