About Windy Bay Restaurant

Windy Bay Restaurant commands an oceanfront position in central Taghazout, with a dedicated 120-square-metre coworking space occupying the entire upper floor above the ground-level restaurant. The coworking area is purpose-built rather than retrofitted: continental power sockets at every desk, a printer, a kitchenette with free tea and coffee, and a capacity cap of 25 people that keeps the room productive without feeling deserted. The ground floor operates as a full restaurant serving Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine with panoramic Atlantic views through floor-to-ceiling windows. With over 2,000 reviews, Windy Bay has established itself as the reference point for remote work in the Taghazout area.

WiFi runs at an extraordinary 200 Mbps on fibre infrastructure — by far the fastest connection available in any cafe or coworking space in the region, and fast enough for simultaneous 4K video calls, large file uploads, and bandwidth-heavy development workflows. Power outlets are at every workstation upstairs, and the excellent seating comfort reflects proper coworking furniture rather than repurposed cafe chairs. Noise levels sit at moderate: the upper floor maintains work-focused energy, while the restaurant below generates conversational activity during meal service that doesn't penetrate the workspace.

Day passes for the coworking space cost 100 MAD (approximately $10), with free tea and coffee included — extraordinary value for the infrastructure quality. The restaurant operates from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and sunset sessions with Atlantic views are genuinely memorable. The beachfront Taghazout location puts surf breaks within a two-minute walk. Best for serious remote workers who need enterprise-grade internet speed in a surf town setting — the 200 Mbps fibre and proper coworking setup make this the only choice for bandwidth-intensive work in the Taghazout area.

Why Taghazout for Remote Work?

This Moroccan surf village has quietly built one of the strongest cafe-work scenes on Africa's Atlantic coast. The 5 mapped cafes average an impressive 72 Mbps WiFi at just $1.80 per coffee, powered by fiber connections that coworking spaces like SunDesk and Coworksurf have brought to the village. Fixed broadband averages 62 Mbps across the area, and the growing coliving scene bundles reliable internet into accommodation packages along the Taghazout-Tamraght coastal strip.

A medium-sized nomad community peaks from November through March when Atlantic swells deliver world-class surf at Anchor Point and Killer Point. English proficiency is medium — sufficient in the international cafe scene but limited in local shops where French, Arabic, and Tashelhit Berber dominate. At $1,200 per month, Taghazout offers over 300 sunny days, $3-5 tagine dinners, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes work-life balance feel effortless rather than aspirational. The walkability score of 7 keeps the compact village navigable on foot.

Internet outages still happen during storms, and power cuts can disrupt work unexpectedly — keep your laptop charged and a Maroc Telecom SIM as hotspot backup. There is no ATM in Taghazout village, requiring trips to Aourir or Agadir for cash withdrawals. Street harassment affects solo women travelers, though the village feels significantly safer than Morocco's imperial cities. Alcohol is largely unavailable in local establishments due to conservative culture, and the community thins out considerably during summer when surf conditions flatten and temperatures climb.

Tips for Working From Cafes in Taghazout

🌍
Taghazout Tip

Find Apartments Through Local Networks

Airbnb prices run 2-3 times higher than local rentals in Taghazout. Join the Taghazout Digital Nomads Facebook group, walk the village for Arabic signs, or ask fellow nomads for landlord contacts. Always negotiate — the first quoted price is never final.

💡
Taghazout Tip

Get a Maroc Telecom SIM Day One

Maroc Telecom has the strongest coastal coverage around Taghazout. A SIM costs $2-3 and 30 GB of data runs $17 per month. Use it as your primary hotspot backup for cafe WiFi outages and power cuts during storms.

Taghazout Tip

Stock Cash Before Arriving

There is no ATM in Taghazout village. Withdraw MAD at Agadir airport or Aourir before heading to the village. Most cafes and restaurants are cash-only, and running out means an unplanned trip to town.

Buy Every 2-3 Hours

📶
Tip 2

Test WiFi First

Run a quick speed test before settling in to avoid surprises during important calls.

🕐

Visit Off-Peak

Arrive 8-11am or 3-5pm to grab the best seats and the fastest WiFi.

🎧
Tip 4

Bring Headphones

Noise-cancelling headphones are essential for blocking lunch rushes and chat.

🔋
Tip 5

Carry a Power Bank

Outlets aren't guaranteed everywhere — a backup keeps you working.

🤫
Tip 6

Respect Quiet Zones

Take long video calls outside or in coworking spaces, not in quiet cafes.
