1. Relax on Agadir Beach
Agadir is all about the beach. This is one of Morocco’s prime beach areas, and holidaymakers from across Europe flock here throughout the year to top up their tans. Summer is high season, as domestic tourists decamp to the Atlantic Coast on holiday to escape the soaring temperatures inland. Many European package tourists also head here in spring and fall when there are still plentiful blue skies and sunny days.
2. Take in the View from the Kasbah
Agadir’s massive earthquake in 1960 leveled much of the city’s historic buildings, leaving the hilltop Agadir Kasbah as the only proper historic attraction in town. The kasbah dates from the mid-16th century, when Agadir became an important center of trade. Today it is only the ramparts that have survived but inside, this walled area was once Agadir’s fortified town built to defend this sea port against attack.
