Where to go Skateboarding in Tamraght and Taghazout

Taghazout Skatepark

Check out my detailed guide to Taghazout skatepark.

The Taghazout skatepark is undeniably la crème de la crème when it comes to skateboarding in Tamraght and Taghazout. It was built in 2017 by a team of volunteers with makelifeskatelife to allow local youth the opportunity to learn to skate.

The skatepark itself is beautiful, with input from local artists and travellers. Most nights, it attracts a large crowd who gather for the epic sunset opportunity. 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.

If you’re less confident on a deck, it’s probably best to visit the skatepark during the day for a little more concrete real estate. The skatepark hits peak traffic in the evenings, which might be a little daunting for the beginner skater.

There is a little shop below the skatepark that’s open from 10am – 8pm. From there, you can rent a skateboard or surfskate board and all the extra paraphernalia. They also have t-shirts and other Taghazout skatepark merchandise for sale.

The guys who run the Taghazout skatepark provide free use of the rental skateboards and protective gear for local kids who can’t afford it themselves. You can support their efforts by buying merch or donating gear.

Getting there: From the top end of Taghazout’s main street, you’ll find a sign directing you up the hill to the skatepark. It’s a bit of a scramble up the goat track, but only a short walk. Check out this post for help navigating taxi rides from Tamraght to Taghazout.

Tamraght Skatepark

The Tamraght skatepark may not be as Instagram-worthy as the Taghazout skatey, but it’s still a popular spot among locals and those genuinely interested in the sport. For people wanting to learn skateboarding in Tamraght or Taghazout, it can be a more preferable choice. Likewise, for skaters who are content to cruise around humbly without an audience.

I’m not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of skatepark construction. Instead, I’ll parrot the words of Trucks and Fins, who describe it as a “concrete park featuring a bowl and a street section with a nice variety of obstacles.” Safi.

Getting there: The Tamraght skatepark is 2km north of the village on the main road, located behind the hotels in Taghazout Bay. You could skate there, walk along the corniche (beach boardwalk) and turn off right up the footpath just before the giant ‘Taghazout Bay’ letters; or catch a taxi.

Anza Skatepark

Getting there: The Anza skatepark is located on the foreshore of Anza beach. You can catch a collective or Berber taxi for 7dh (€0.70), or local buses 32 or 33 to Anza, stopping just before the big roundabout. From there, it’s a 15-minute walk to the skatepark.

Agadir Skatepark

Getting there: The Agadir skatepark is more or less in the city centre. You can catch local buses 32 or 33 from the main road in Tamraght, getting off at stop ‘Anezi’. The bus ticket costs 5.5dh (€0.55). From Anezi, it’s a further 1.6km.

Alternatively, you can catch a collective taxi from the main road in Tamraght to Batoire taxi station in Agadir for 10dh (€1.00). Then walk/skate another 1.7km to get to the skatepark.

SurfSkating in Tamraght and Taghazout – Lessons

Aligning with the villages’ strong surf cultures, surfskating is also hugely popular in Tamraght and Taghazout. It’s a little easier to pick up than traditional skateboarding. So, if you lack the finesse for skateboarding, or if you’d prefer some flowier carving more akin to surfing, you could try your hand at surfskating instead.

There are surfskate lessons available at the Taghazout skatepark. You can visit the shop in person between 10am and 8pm, or enquire via the Taghazout skatepark website.
