Agadir for Families: Beach Holidays and Day Trips
Agadir is one of Morocco’s favourite destinations for family holidays. Its long sandy beach, wide seafront promenade and mild climate make it easy to enjoy with children – and the surrounding region offers plenty of day trips when you want a change from the beach.
Why families love Agadir
- A long, wide beach with a promenade that is perfect for walks, bikes and scooters.
- A modern city layout with hotels, apartments, restaurants and shops close to the seafront.
- The marina for an evening stroll, ice cream and dinner by the water.
- A sunny climate for much of the year, which makes Agadir popular outside the summer holidays too.
Things to do with children
- Agadir Oufella: the hill above the city with the ruins of the old kasbah and wide views over the bay.
- Souk El Had: Agadir’s large market, full of fruit, spices, crafts and everyday life.
- Crocoparc: a park with crocodiles and gardens, popular with families.
- Beach days: sandcastles, beach games and walks along the shore.
Easy day trips
- Paradise Valley: a green valley with palm trees and natural pools in the foothills of the Atlas.
- Taghazout and the coast north of Agadir: surf villages, beaches and ocean views – surf lessons are available for beginners.
- Souss-Massa National Park: coastal landscapes known for birdlife.
- Taroudant: an inland town surrounded by impressive earthen walls.
Choosing a holiday rental
For families, a holiday apartment or villa is often more comfortable than a hotel room: separate bedrooms, a kitchen for simple meals and snacks, and sometimes a pool or terrace. When you compare listings, check the distance to the beach, the number of bedrooms and beds, parking, and whether there is a pool – and ask the owner about anything you need for small children.
Getting there and around
Agadir Al Massira Airport (AGA) serves the city. A rental car makes day trips easy, and many agencies offer airport pickup.
