More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A wind‑cut ridge of sand rises from the Atlantic like a moving shore; foam and wind scent the air while boards slice down warm faces of the Timlalin Dunes. The morning drive from Agadir threads coastal villages — Aourir, Tamraght, Taghazout — until the road gives way to tracks and the dunes open with sweeping ocean views. Guides set up boards, fitting helmets and explaining footwork; beginners get gentle runs while stronger riders push for longer, faster descents.
