More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the van as the Atlantic wind cuts across a wide crescent of sand. Waves line up like a row of doors, some opening gently, others folding with intent—the ocean daring you to time its rhythm. Thirty minutes north of Agadir the coast changes: low basalt headlands give way to sandy coves and reef-edged point breaks where local instructors cue the best windows for beginners.

Book morning sessions
Mornings usually offer offshore winds and smaller, cleaner waves ideal for beginners; aim for first light when swell is moderate.
Know basic swimming
You should be comfortable in the sea and able to tread water; instructors can help with technique but not replace foundational swimming ability.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
The sun is strong and beaches are fragile—apply reef-safe, water-resistant sunscreen and reapply after sessions.
Wear sturdy sandals for access
Some entry points are rocky; bring sandals to protect feet while walking to launch spots and back to the van.
Wetsuit or rash guard
Protects against chill, sun and board abrasion; many schools provide suits but bring your own if you prefer.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local marine life from harmful chemicals.
