A Berber fishing village on Morocco's Atlantic coast, about 19 km north of Agadir, Taghazout drew young travellers in the late 1960s and surfers from the 1970s onward. Anchor Point, a long right-hand point break about 3 km north of the village, is the break the scene is built around. The purpose-built Taghazout Bay resort and Tamraght, both to the south, now make up the wider area. Agadir's Al Massira airport is the practical gateway. Accommodation is mostly surf camps and co-living houses, with a handful of coworking rooms that sell desks by the day or month.
