agadir

A long sandy Atlantic beach, a busy souk and surf villages just up the coast.

Best time
April–June and September–November are good for warm days without the biggest crowds. Summer can bring coastal fog, and the Atlantic is cool in winter even when the sun is out.
How long
3–4 days
Getting there
Fly with one stop to Casablanca, usually via Istanbul, Doha or Dubai, about 17–20 hours all in, then about 1 hour on to Agadir. The airport is about 30 minutes from the beach. Morocco is 8 hours behind KL.

Agadir was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1960, so it's a modern beach city rather than a medina town. It makes a relaxed end to an inland trip, with a long sandy beach, a huge souk and surf villages up the coast.
