Agadir Corniche
Rue La Plage, Agadir, Morocco, 80000
A modern, spacious seafront promenade, Agadir Corniche runs for about 3 miles (5 kilometers) along Agadir Beach in the heart of town. Lined with palm trees, restaurants, bars, ice-cream stores—and more than the odd persistent street peddlers—it’s a charming place for a waterfront stroll. The sunsets can be spectacular against a backdrop of the Atlantic surf rolling onto the golden sands.
The basics
Agadir Corniche is a popular spot for a walk or—in the early morning or early evening—a run. Many locals use the promenade to keep fit, so you'll be in good company. Vendors sell everything from sunglasses to tissues and can be persistent. Unless you want to buy, say “No, thank you,” politely and clearly as soon as they approach and continue to refuse. Many Agadir city tours stop at the beach, marina, or promenade.
Things to know before you go
Agadir Corniche is great for beach lovers, walkers, and people watchers.
The Corniche is by the beach, but it’s not on the beach, so it’s worth bearing local standards of modesty in mind. Women will enjoy their stroll more when wearing loose clothes that cover shoulders, upper arms, belly, cleavage, and legs to the knee.
Smooth and well-made, Agadir’s seafront promenade is ideal for both wheelchairs and strollers.
How to get there
Agadir Corniche runs for about 3 miles (5 kilometers) along Agadir Beach, from the marina in the north to the Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea & Spa hotel in the south. The AE Aerobus airport shuttle runs along the coastal road just behind the promenade and follows a convenient route for many hotels; or you can take a taxi or join a city tour.
When to get there
Lifeguards and police officers supervise the beach and patrol the Corniche during Agadir’s summer peak (mid-June to mid-September), but it’s safe and well-lit throughout the year. Evenings are a cool and lively time for a walk, and sunset offers excellent photo prospects.
Fun on the sand around Agadir
If tanning on Agadir Beach or strolling the Corniche is not high-impact enough for you, more sandy adventures await. The region is popular with surfers, and Taghazout’s Panorama Beach offers a sheltered beach break with a sand bottom that stays mellow when other spots get fierce—ideal for beginners. Or, head to the Timlalin Dunes (Timlalin Sandboarding Site) near Tamri. Explore these coastal dunes by all-terrain vehicle—or try sandboarding, the desert’s answer to snowboarding.
