1. About Taghazout
Taghazout is a quiet fishing village on the Atlantic coast in Morocco. It’s situated 19 km north of Agadir and 152 km south of Essaouira in the foothills of the western part of the High Atlas range. Tourism is probably the most important source of income of the locals. This quiet village offers the perfect spot for people who want to chill on the beach, swim in the Atlantic Ocean, learn to surf, hike, and take day trips to other amazing places.
The locals are mostly Berbers or also called Amazighs.

4. How to get to Taghazout
From Marrakesh to Taghazout
You can always take a private taxi everywhere. Private taxi prices are random. For this reason, I’m only writing about buses and shared taxis that have fixed prices. The prices I calculated in Euro and USD are only approximate amounts. Here is a step-by-step guide for how to get from Marrakesh to Taghazout through Agadir.
1. From Marrakesh Menara Airport the Marrakesh Train Station
With local bus
Option 1: #18
Option 2: #12 and change to #14
Price for each ticket: 4Dh (~0.40€/USD)
With airport shuttle #19
Price: 30Dh (~2.80€/~3,10USD)
2. From Marrakesh Train Station to Agadir Bus Station (Gare Routiere)
With Supratours or CTM bus
Price: 110Dh (~10.10€/~11.40USD)
Baggage ticket: 5Dh (~0.50€/USD)
3. From Agadir Bus Station to Taghazout
By bus
If you arrive at Agadir Bus Station (Gare Routiere) you can use Google Maps to find out how to get to Taghazout. First, you can take a local bus (#2, #16, #22) to the center of Agadir and then you take bus #32 or #33. The schedule on Google Maps works pretty well, except during Ramadan in the evening. I think after like 18:00, it’s very rare that you see a local bus. It means that during Ramadan let’s say after 17:00 go for the shared taxi.
Price: 7.50 Dh (~0.90€/~1USD)
By shared taxi
You can take it from the shared taxi station called Agadir Grand Taxi Station. If you take a private taxi, you can always say grand taxi Taghazout and the private taxi will take you to the exact location of the station.
Price: 10 Dh (~0.80€/~0.90USD)
