You crest a low ridge and the Atlantic opens beneath you — a cool, briny breeze pushes inland while fishing boats bob like punctuation marks along Agadir's crescent bay. The road from Marrakech unspools for about three hours on the highway, trading ochre plains and argan-dotted hills for low coastal scrub and the distant cry of seabirds.
