In-Depth Information
Agadir's glory is its crescent beach, which usually remains unruffled when the Atlantic
winds are blustering elsewhere. It's clean and well maintained, spotlit at night and
patrolled by lifeguards and police during peak periods (mid-June to mid-September).
There is a strong undertow.
The beach is mostly hassle-free, but single females or families will have a more relaxed
time at one of the private beaches near the marina, or in front of the big hotels around
Sun-
here include showers, toilets and kids' play areas; deckchairs and umbrellas can be hired
(Dh20).
The shops on the promenade just south of the marina sell bodyboards for about Dh130.
Many larger beach hotels and surf clubs rent out windsurfing equipment, jet skis, body-
boards and surfboards.
At sunset and into the evening, Agadir's activity of choice is strolling along the
promen-
ade
that runs south from the marina.
