The sand smells faintly of salt and iron as the bus slows onto a wide, red-streaked shore; two great sandstone arches rise from the breaking surf like weathered gates to the Atlantic. Legzira’s arches have drawn travelers for decades, a dramatic contrast to the flat, scrubby countryside you pass through on the drive south from Agadir.

History
Tiznit has long been a regional center for silverwork and caravan trade, while Sidi Ifni’s Spanish colonial era (1912–1969) left visible coastal architecture and a distinct local history.
Conservation
The arches are actively eroded by waves and storms; visitors should avoid climbing rock formations, pack out trash, and follow local guidance to minimize impact.

Check the tide times
Arch access and beach walking are best at low tide—plan visits around tide charts to avoid wet or dangerous crossings.
Sun protection is critical
The exposed sandstone and sand reflect strong UV—bring SPF, a hat, and sunglasses for midday comfort.
Avoid climbing the arches
Erosion has weakened the rock; stay on marked viewpoints and don’t attempt to climb the sandstone formations.
Bring cash for small purchases
Tiznit and beachside vendors may not accept cards—carry small bills for crafts, snacks, and toilets.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction helps on wet sand and uneven sandstone surfaces.
Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses)
Essential for exposed coastal sun, especially midday.
