A long golden beach sweeping in a wide arc around Agadir bay, from the marina in the north towards the mouth of the Souss river in the south, with the Oufella kasbah and its hillside lettering above. It is the heart of tourist life in Agadir, the city rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake as a modern resort on the Atlantic. A broad pedestrian promenade runs the length of the beach, lined with cafés, restaurants, hotels and gardens, and fills in the evening with families and joggers. Agadir enjoys a mild, sunny climate most of the year, so families come in winter to escape the cold. On the sand are umbrellas and loungers, camel and horse rides, surf schools, football pitches and wide open spaces for walking at the water's edge. The bay is calmer than many Atlantic beaches, though the waves can be strong at times. The beach is free, with umbrellas and loungers for hire from clubs and hotels. Follow the flags when swimming, as the ocean can carry currents. The loveliest time is sunset from the promenade.
