Where to Find the Best Sunset Spots in Tamraght

Last Updated on 21st January 2026 by Jessie

This is probably not the most pertinent travel advice the world is seeking, but nevertheless, I have lovingly compiled my complete list of the best sunset spots in Tamraght.

One of the things I love most about Morocco is the slowed-down pace experienced here. Life doesn’t feel rushed. Conversations, meals, plans for the future; all of these things are allowed the time and space to unravel as they please.

Inshallah – a common response in Morocco to almost any question or prediction for the future; an Arabic phrase translating to, “If God wills it”. This sums up the Moroccan sentiment for life. Nothing is truly within our control, and so we can relinquish our worries and tendency to overexert – instead, embracing moments simply as they come. Whether desired or not.

See my Moroccan Darija language guide for beginners.

There is far less pressure to ‘do’ in Tamraght, and a greater value on simply being. This is my long-winded way of explaining that you can spend an entire day lazing on the beach, sipping mint tea, and watching the waves – and yet, feel complete contentment.

With that said, my only advice for experiencing fulfilment whilst on holiday here is to ensure you round out each day by watching the sun go down. So, with no further ado, here is my rundown of the best sunset spots in Tamraght.

Best Sunset Spots in Tamraght

1. Hike up the mountain

Don’t be put off – this sounds like a far bigger feat than it is. Maybe hill is a more accurate term. Either way, the epic view from up there makes this my number one recommendation for the best sunset spots in Tamraght.

The walk from the base of the hill to the top only takes about 15 minutes, and once you’re up there, you can look out over the whole expanse of coastline from Agadir to Taghazout and beyond. From behind you can see the village of Aourir (Banana Village) as it sprawls its way inland towards Paradise Valley.

If you’re lucky enough, you can share the trek with a local shepherd guiding his goats through the cacti. I love this kind of vista; the almost birds-eye view allowing you the entire perspective of a town or city. Perhaps the closest I get to empathising with royalty.

GETTING THERE: I can’t give you specific directions. Not once on my many trips up the hill have I managed to follow the same route both up and down. This is partly because the trails are pretty vague, and partly because my internal GPS is garbage.

But a good point of reference is the blue and white mosque (Mosquée Atawba on Google Maps); from there, you can continue further up the hill until you reach a semblance of a path between the cactus-dotted rocks. Alternatively, it’s easy enough to follow your nose to the base of the hill from any point in Tamraght. Just think onwards and upwards.

2. Taghazout Skatepark

Whilst not technically in Tamraght, this one is well worth the trip. Situated on the hill up above Taghazout, it also boasts a panoramic view of the magical stretch of coastline. You’ll have primo viewing of the surfers at Panoramas and Anchor Point.

Sunset at Taghazout skatepark is a social event. In winter, the place fills up with spectators around 6.30pm, and if you’re coming from sleepy little Tamraght, you’ll find yourself wondering which woodworks all of these people have wandered out from. Some nights, a DJ will set up their decks, or the token fire-twirling backpacker will take the stage. Bring a beer if you’re that way inclined, or buy a fresh mint tea from the vendor doing his rounds. But remember – no money, no honey.

The local skaters have been honing their talent for years, and you’ll be treated to a show. Taghazout skatepark itself is beautiful. I don’t know how often that can be said for mounds of concrete, but the coastal backdrop makes this place special.

The skatepark was built in 2017 by a team of volunteers with makelifeskatelife to allow local kids the opportunity to learn to skate. The camaraderie between the skaters – whether kids or adults, locals or blow-ins – is beautiful to see. And reflective of the collective spirit of Moroccan people more broadly.

GETTING THERE: You have two options here: cheap and adventurous, or pay a little extra for the luxury of door-to-door delivery.

1. From the main road, you can hail a taxi – Berber or collective – to take you to Taghazout (10dh per person) and from there you walk north up the main strip, past the municipal garbage heap where the goats graze, until you reach a hand painted sign on the right directing you up to the skatepark. Follow the winding dirt track up the hill, et voila.
2. Hail an empty grand taxi (the large yellow and white ones) and ask for a lift directly to Taghazout skatepark. The driver will barter with you. Expect to pay anywhere between 50dh and 100dh (€5-€10). This works out well if there is a group of you. The driver might be happy to collect you for the return trip. Otherwise, it’s easy enough to walk down the hill to Taghazout and catch a taxi back to Tamraght from there.

3. Banana Point

If the waves are good, Banana Point makes for a great clifftop perch to sit and watch the surfers ride the long right-handers in the waning light. Alternatively, grab a board and head down for a sunset surf yourself. Top tip for beating the winter crowds.

If you’re a fellow Aussie and instinctively associate the ocean at dusk with sharks’ dinner time, then fear not, my friend – the waters here are relatively vacant of sea life. (Sad).

Often you’ll find a coffee van parked up on the cliff. I’m not one for a 7pm coffee myself, but caffeine and Moroccans go hand in hand in this mint tea-drenched land. It’s also a popular spot for camper vans to park for the night, prime real estate for waking up to ocean views.

GETTING THERE: Located at the southern end of Tamraght, Banana Point is easy enough to find on Google Maps. It takes about 25-minutes to walk there from the centre of Tamraght. The route from Devil’s Rock along the coastal winding road up to the cliff is the nicest scenic option.

4. Le Surfing Cafe – Devil’s Rock

One of my all-time favourite cafes in Tamraght, I adore this quaint little beach shack. With comfy outdoor seating, this is the perfect spot to round out a sun-drenched afternoon at the beach. Azouz usually shuts up shop around 7pm, so make your way there before then to grab a mint tea or a juice and say bslama (goodbye) to the day.

GETTING THERE: I don’t think there is any identifiable signage for this place. I only found out the name via Google Maps. But it’s set directly above the beach at Devil’s Rock. Simple.

5. The Beach

Any beach. No need to complicate things. Just make your way down, sit in the sand, and take advantage of being situated on the west coast as you watch the sun dip into the ocean. The North African climate means that the evenings in Tamraght are fairly comfortable all year round.

If you’re feeling extra jazzy, order pizzas from U Wood Love and they will deliver them to you anywhere in Tamraght. Ooh la la.

GETTING THERE: Take the foot falcon. I’ll leave the details of the journey to you.

6. Any Rooftop

What Moroccan homes may lack in backyards, they more than make up for in rooftops. Most hostels, surf camps and apartments will have a rooftop terrace. Often decked out with checkered flooring, large potted plants, eclectic cushions and mosaiced tea tables, an aesthetic rooftop terrace is arguably the selling point of most accommodation options in Tamraght.

This may be the simplest and laziest of the sunset spots in Tamraght, but it’s certainly no less special. As far as I know, there are no restaurants in Tamraght with rooftop sunset views, so either stay home or take up someone’s invitation for a rooftop tagine.

GETTING THERE: …

7. Taghazout Beach Bars

Again, not in Tamraght, but if you’re looking for somewhere to buy a drink and watch the sunset, you’ll have to make the voyage to Taghazout. Tamraght is a dry village, meaning it’s not possible to purchase alcohol there. In line with the Islamic religion, Muslims are forbidden to drink alcohol; thus, alcohol licensing for venues is expensive, resulting in fewer bars and liquor stores, and higher prices for alcohol relative to the Moroccan cost of living.

Personally, I love a beer after a long day in the sun – but equally, I love experiencing a culture where gatherings don’t revolve around alcohol. I think it contributes to the magic of Morocco, the stronger sense of presence and the deeper connections between people.

Anywho, if you do want a sundowner, these are your options:

• World of Waves
• Amouage
• Dfrost

Check out this post for a complete list of Bars in Taghazout.

GETTING THERE: Jump in a Berber or collective taxi from the main road (10dh per person). Taghazout is less than 10 minutes away by car. All three bars are on the left side of the road, overlooking the ocean. World of Waves is a short walk down towards the ocean from the main hub of Taghazout. Amouage and Dfrost can be reached from the main road if you walk further north.

Best Sunrise Spots in Tamraght

With the best sunset spots in Tamraght covered, I may as well round this out with a few words for the early birds as well.

1. See Point Number One Above

With the backdrop of hills creating an amphitheatre around Tamraght, if you want a view of the sunrise over the horizon, this is your only real option. But it’s a goodie. Wake early and hike up the mountain, watch the sunrise over Aourir, and then head back to your accommodation for mint tea and msemen. Morning routine of your dreams done and dusted.

Regardless, sunrise in Tamraght will more likely than not be gorgeous wherever you find yourself. The light in Morocco has a magic quality to it. A warm, muted veil that makes the dawn and dusk hours feel almost mystical. Yet grounded.

Moroccans are night owls by nature, aligning with the hot climate. Thus, mornings tend to be quiet. Rise early for a stretch on your rooftop, get to the surf, wander the empty streets, or head down to the beach for a walk or a peaceful dip. A holiday in Tamraght is supposed to be spent outdoors. Make the most of every minute of it.
