Located near Agadir in southern Morocco, Legzira Beach is famous for its naturally formed red rock arches.

Even if part of the arch collapsed in the storm, it is still one of Morocco's most iconic natural wonders. The beach has soft sand and clear water, surrounded by majestic red cliffs and rocks. At sunset, the color of the cliffs and the reflection of the sea water form an intoxicating beauty.

Taghazout is a small fishing village in Morocco, located on the coastline about 20 kilometers north of Agadir. It was once famous for squid rings and hippies. Now it is the most famous surfing resort in Morocco. There are world-class waves here, especially in winter, when there are often big waves, which are very suitable for surfing. Anchor Point, Hash Point and Panoramas are all very suitable wave points.
In recent years, Taghazout has attracted more and more tourists and surfing enthusiasts from all over the world. If you are not a surfing enthusiast, you can also choose to go out to sea on a fishing boat, take pictures of the fishing village scenery at sunset, or drink mint tea in a cliffside cafe, overlooking the blue sea, and take pictures of the surfers on the waves.
