🏛️ Top Attractions
Best things to do in Taghazout
Anchor Point
Morocco's most famous surf spot and one of the world's premier right-hand point breaks. Anchor Point offers long, perfectly peeling waves that attract surfers from around the globe. The wave is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers during the winter months when swells from the North Atlantic deliver consistent quality. Even non-surfers enjoy watching the action from the cliffs above.
Paradise Valley
A stunning oasis hidden in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, about 30 minutes from Taghazout. Natural rock pools with crystal-clear water surrounded by palm trees create a magical setting. You can swim, cliff jump, or simply relax in nature. The hike down involves some scrambling but is manageable for most fitness levels. A perfect day trip escape from the coast.
Taghazout Beach
The main beach of Taghazout village with golden sand stretching along the Atlantic coast. Perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and beginner surfing with gentler waves near the shore. Blue and white fishing boats dot the sand, and beachfront cafes offer fresh seafood and smoothies. The beach transforms during sunset into a magical gathering spot for the community.
Panoramas Beach
A popular surf spot just south of Taghazout village, ideal for beginners and intermediates with its sandy bottom and forgiving waves. The wide beach offers plenty of space for surf schools and the atmosphere is welcoming for newcomers. Great for learning to surf or improving your skills before tackling more challenging breaks like Anchor Point.
Taghazout Skatepark
A surprisingly well-designed skatepark located in the village, offering bowls, rails, and ramps for all skill levels. Built as part of community development, it's become a gathering spot for local and visiting skaters alike. The park overlooks the ocean and provides an alternative activity for flat surf days or an evening session before sunset.
Timlalin Dunes
Where the Sahara meets the Atlantic, these unique coastal dunes north of Taghazout offer a surreal landscape for sandboarding and photography. The contrast of golden sand against the blue ocean creates stunning visuals, especially at sunset. An underrated excursion that showcases Morocco's diverse landscapes within a short drive from the surf town.
Agadir Souk El Had
The largest market in the Souss region, located in nearby Agadir about 20km south. A colorful labyrinth of over 3,000 stalls selling spices, textiles, crafts, argan products, and fresh produce. Less touristy than Marrakech's souks with more authentic prices. Perfect for a half-day excursion to experience traditional Moroccan market culture.
Crocoparc Agadir
An exotic haven featuring over 300 Nile crocodiles in lush gardens, located between Taghazout and Agadir. Beyond crocodiles, the park showcases various reptiles, birds, and a beautiful botanical garden with cacti and tropical plants.

💬 What Nomads Say
Real reviews from digital nomads
"Taghazout exceeded all my expectations as a digital nomad destination. The combination of world-class surf, affordable living, and a growing remote work community is hard to beat. I paid around $800/month for a nice apartment in Tamraght, worked from Coworksurf most days where the 200 Mbps WiFi was rock solid, and surfed every morning before opening my laptop. The food scene is amazing - fresh tagines and grilled fish for under $10. Yes, internet can drop occasionally during storms, but having a backup SIM sorted that. The sunsets alone are worth the trip. Staying three months and already planning my return."
"As a solo female traveler, I was initially nervous about Morocco but Taghazout felt very safe. The surf community is welcoming and international, making it easy to meet people. The coworking options have improved dramatically - I split my time between BigBlue and various cafes. Internet speeds of 40-50 Mbps worked fine for video calls, though I always had a backup plan. Living costs were very affordable at about $1,100/month including everything. The downsides: limited nightlife, occasional harassment in nearby Agadir, and you need to go to Aourir for an ATM. But for focused work with beach breaks, it's perfect."
"Taghazout has potential but isn't for everyone. If you're expecting Bali-level infrastructure, you'll be disappointed. The WiFi situation is improving but still unreliable - I had several important calls drop. The village itself is tiny and can feel limiting after a few weeks. Finding good accommodation was harder than expected, with many overpriced surf camps targeting tourists. That said, the surf is genuinely world-class, costs are low, and the community vibe is real. Just manage your expectations about working conditions. I'd recommend it for surfers who work remotely, not remote workers who surf occasionally."
