Along the beach of Agadir

Agadir’s beach is as good as they come: a wide expanse of fine sand which extends an impressive distance to the south of the town, is swept each morning and patrolled by mounted police. Along its course are a number of cafés which rent out sunbeds and umbrellas. The ocean – it should be stressed – has a very strong Atlantic undertow and is definitely not suitable for children unless closely supervised. Even adults are advised not to go out swimming alone. At the south end of the beach, wet-biking (jet-skiing; 300dh for 20min) is available at the Palm Beach Club (20dh entry) and near the Hôtel Amadil Beach. Horse and camel rides are also available, and quad bikes and beach buggies can also be rented. You can ride on any of these along the sands, up on the dunes, and over to the estuary (see box opposite). This is reached past an area known as Founty, quite a pleasant place, where a hundred or so villas are scattered behind the sand dunes and eucalyptus forest.
