With a bustling port and a complex of beaches stretching beneath its kasbah, Agadir was completely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1960. It is today the country’s leading destination for sun, sand, water. pubs and pizzas. Laid out like a large network of downtown streets, surrounded by sprawling residential suburbs, Agadir’s concrete-clad interior neighborhoods are ugly and barren. However, the city speeds up on the waterfront, where Moroccan street life arrives with a refreshing sense of space. The sandy beach, arched south of the dazzling white marina, offers clean water and 300 days of sunshine a year.
Agadir caters primarily to package tourists and will be less attractive to independent travelers. Families will enjoy relaxing on the beach and strolling around a handful of sites. However, if you don’t have children in the trailer, we recommend going elsewhere to make the most of your visit to Morocco.
