Morning light strips the Atlantic to silver as the van peels away from Agadir and the coast unfurls into bands of sand and rock. You arrive at Timlalin where the Tagoba dunes press up against the sea — wind-sculpted ridges that shift like live architecture and fishermen’s huts spread along the shoreline, nets drying in the sun.

Start early for cooler sand
Visit Timlalin in the morning to avoid peak heat and get the best light for photos on the dunes.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
The coastal glare and exposed trails offer little shade—protect skin and eyes for the whole day.
Shoes for two terrains
Wear lightweight hiking shoes or sturdy sandals that handle sand but also give traction on wet rock at the pools.
Carry reusable water
There’s limited water availability between stops—pack at least 1.5–2L per person for a seven-hour outing.
