5-Day Travel Itinerary for Taghazout, Morocco

Last Updated on 22nd January 2026 by Jessie

Planning 5 days in Taghazout? This travel itinerary maps out the perfect balance of surf, food, relaxation, and adventure on Morocco’s sunny Atlantic coast.

Taghazout is a colourful little coastal village north of Agadir, renowned as a hub for Moroccan surf tourism. Despite its wee size, there’s plenty to do in and out of the water in Taghazout. So, for those making a quick dash to the village, I’ve created this suggested 5-day Taghazout travel itinerary to ensure you get the most out of your Moroccan beach sojourn.

There are loads of surf camps in Taghazout that offer all-inclusive surf packages. You get accommodation and a hefty breakfast spread, plus they organise daily surf and yoga lessons, communal Moroccan dinners, and day trips to Paradise Valley, Imsouane and Timlalin Dunes.

When you’ve only got 5 – 10 days in a foreign place, it’s a relief to sit back and have all of the planning taken care of for you.

But not everyone likes that sort of rigidity. And not everyone (this girl included) likes that much unabridged, back-to-back time in the company of others. So this 5-day Taghazout itinerary is for those who prefer a more DIY approach. A little more wriggle room to allow space for spontaneity and free-range exploring. Feel free to chop and change my suggestions, plagiarise it and make it your own.

Taghazout Travel Guide

5-Day Taghazout Travel Itinerary

Day 1 – Get Your Bearings & Sink Your Teeth In

• Fly into Agadir Al Massira airport. From the taxi rank outside departures, you can catch a taxi straight to your accommodation in Taghazout. It’s a set rate of 300dh (€30) for the whole car. Plus 20dh (€2) for each large piece of luggage. For more info, check out this post on catching taxis from Agadir airport.

For alternate transport routes, see this guide on how to get to Taghazout.

• If you’re feeling snacky, I recommend heading straight to the msemen cart at the front of Taghazout Tajine Palace. Sink your teeth into what will probably be the first of many hot, fresh msemen during your stay.

• After a likely sweaty voyage, you’ll be in need of a dip in the ocean. Get yourself down to Hash Point (max 5-10 minute walk from your accommodation). Get your bearings, settle into the sand with a mint tea in hand and enjoy the serenity.
• For your first dinner, you must go all in with the Moroccan cuisine. I suggest a kefta tagine and Moroccan salad at Cafe Taliouine. It’s located on the main street of Taghazout, so you can sit back and experience the hubbub of it all.

Day 2 – Surf & Skatepark Sunset

• Start your day with a full Moroccan breakfast spread. Many of the hostels and hotels will include brekky. Otherwise, pretty much any of the cafes and restaurants in town will be able to sort you out. I suggest Anwal Cuisines Marocain.

• Surf. If you’ve got your own gear, head to one of the many surf breaks around Taghazout. From the village, you can walk to Panoramas, K17, Hash Point, and Anchor Point (if you don’t mind a short trek). For the rest, you can catch a taxi.
• For beginner surfers, there are plenty of board and wetsuit rental stores on the main street. Many also offer surf lessons. I recommend Habo Surf Shop or Surf Maroc.

• For a post-surf refuel, head to Cafe Tayoughte for my all-time favourite Moroccan dish – the Berber omelette. It’s a cheap, authentic, hole-in-the-wall overlooking Taghazout Beach. Perfect for the budget traveller.

• If the waves are good in the arvo, get back out there. Or simply relish in the leisure of a Moroccan beach day.
• For sunset, head up to Taghazout skatepark. It’s a popular hangout in the evening for locals and travellers alike, and the quality of skating is on. See details on how to get to the skatepark.
• After meandering your way back down the hill, grab yourself a 10dh fish sandwich cooked on hot coals from one of the street carts.

Day 3 – Sandboarding & Good Beers

• If you’ve come to Taghazout in search of waves, you’ll want to milk every minute of it. So your day should start with another Moroccan feast and a surf.

• When your belly’s ready for a reprieve from Moroccan cuisine, head to Teapot Cafe for all your favourite Western brunch items. It’s a bit more exy than the local eateries, but the quality is on. I highly recommend the fish tacos.
• In the afternoon, take a break from the surf and head up to Timlalin Dunes. Get a little taste of the Sahara with the big dunes, and try your hand at sandboarding. There are boards there for hire for 50dh (€5). Located 45km north of Taghazout, you can arrange the trip with a local taxi driver or book a tour online at GetYourGuide.

• The ocean views from the dunes are incredible, so I suggest timing your trip to catch the sunset out there.
• For dinner (and a beer, if you please), check out Munga’s Kitchen. The pizzas are great, and it’s a good spot for meeting other travellers.

Day 4 – Paradise Valley & Sundowner

• Spice up your beach holiday with a day trip out to Paradise Valley. The date palm-lined oasis offers a nice change of scenery. You can swim in the freshwater pools, laze on the rocks like a lizard, and get lunch at one of the riverside restaurants.

• You can make your own way out there with a taxi (as explained in this complete guide to Paradise Valley). Or you can book a tour through GetYourGuide.

• If you feel like rounding out your day with a somewhat boujier sundowner, head to Dfrost Almugar.

Day 5 – Parting Trinkets & Hammam

• For your final day in Taghazout, start your day with a sunrise yoga session at Amouage. After a few days in the surf (especially as a beginner), you’ll be needing a good stretch. See the full list of drop-in yoga classes in Taghazout.
• Take a wander through Taghazout village and pick up a little trinket, some beautiful crockery, or go all out and choose a dreamy handwoven rug to take home with you.

• For the rest of the day, get back in the surf or laze at the beach. Make the most of your last moments in the desert sun.
• And once your skin is well and truly weathered, treat yourself to some TLC at one of the local hammams. See the list of hammams in Taghazout. It’s best to book ahead.

Hammams aren’t for the faint-hearted, so prepare yourself with this first-timer’s guide.

• For your final hurrah, get dinner at World of Waves (the cheapest option for sea view beers) and watch the sun go down.
