Agadir beach tips

  • Agadir beach is 9 km long - hotel zone in the north, quieter south end for families.
  • Riptides can be strong. Swim between the red and yellow flags where lifeguards are present.
  • Beach vendors are persistent - a firm "la shukran" (no, thank you) works. Don't ignore, don't argue.
  • Bikinis are acceptable at the beach and hotel pools. Cover up when moving to the city.
  • Restaurants on the Promenade accept cards. Beach snack sellers are cash only.

Getting around Agadir
