Agadir is Morocco's beach resort: rebuilt as a modern city after the 1960 earthquake destroyed the old town, it is all wide boulevards, a 9-km bay and winter sun. It is the base for the Souss coast's surf, from Taghazout to Tamraght.
Beyond the beach: the hilltop Oufella kasbah, the huge Souk El Had, and day trips to Paradise Valley and Taroudant.
