The South Atlantic Coast of Morocco, home to some great beach towns, is more laid-back than its northern counterpart.
- Agadir. - best-known for its beaches, the town is a nice example of modern Morocco, with less emphasis on history and culture. Take the local bus for a few cents and go 2 or 3 villages north, where there are more beaches.
- Essaouira. - an ancient sea-side town newly rediscovered by tourists. From mid June to August the beaches are packed but any other time and you'll be the only person there. Good music and great people.
- Imouzzer.
- Taghazout. and its neighbouring towns of Tamraght and Aourir (the latter two also known as "Banana Village").

- "Watersports". Morocco and the South Atlantic Coast are a great place for activities like surfing, kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding. During summer months, the afternoons are quite windy, so it will suit kiteboarders better, but surfers can still have some good time especially in the morning. From October onwards, the winds are less powerful and surfing is better. For classical surfing, the most famous places to head to are the three neighbouring villages of Taghazout, Tamragh and Aourir on the one hand and Sidi Ifni more in the south on the other. There are plenty of schools along the coast where you can get surf or kite lessons.
