Overview
Taghazout sits on a dramatic headland 18 kilometres north of Agadir, surrounded by point breaks that pick up consistent North Atlantic swell throughout winter. Anchor Point, Killer Point, and Hash Point are the headline acts — long right-handers that unravel down the rocky coastline. The village itself remains genuinely Moroccan: small riads, argan oil cooperatives, and tagine cooked over charcoal. Meridian books a private riad in the upper medina with a rooftop overlooking the main break.
