Taghazout and its neighbour Tamraght have become Morocco’s surf mecca, drawing wave-riders from every corner of the globe. With a rental car, you are free to chase the best conditions rather than being tied to one break.

Anchor Point is the jewel in the crown — a powerful right-hander that can hold swells up to 15 feet. It sits just north of Taghazout village, a two-minute drive from the main road. Park on the dirt track above the headland and watch the sets roll in before you paddle out.

Hash Point, right at the edge of Taghazout, is the mellow option perfect for intermediates. The road access is easy and there is always a friendly crowd. It breaks best on small north-west swells at low to mid tide.

Killer Point lives up to its name on big days. Located between Taghazout and Aourir (Banana Village), it is about a 10-minute drive. A long, winding right-hander wraps around the headland — one of the longest waves on the Moroccan coastline when it fires.

La Source and Mysteries are two more world-class breaks just minutes apart by car. Without wheels you would spend hours waiting for taxis or negotiating prices. Having your own rental car means you can arrive at dawn for glassy conditions and leave when the wind picks up.

From Agadir, Taghazout is only 20 km north on the N1 coastal road — a scenic 25-minute drive. Rent from Generation Cars from €23/day, no deposit required, with free delivery to Taghazout or any surf camp.

Pro tip: check the webcam at Anchor Point before leaving Agadir. If the waves are small there, drive 15 minutes further north to Boilers for a more consistent swell.
