For adventure lovers, Agadir offers a wide range of water sports activities due to its great weather conditions and warm water temperatures all year round and has become a hot spot for surfing, stand- up paddle boarding, jetskiing, and paragliding. There are several surf schools in the area that offer lessons for beginners and advanced surfers alike. The calmer waters provide an excellent opportunity to explore the coastline on a stand-up paddle board. And for those who appreciate sea life, Agadir Dolphinarium in Anza, is a must see attraction.
In addition to water sports, Agadir is also well- known for its surfcasting and fishing opportunities. Several organised fishing trips take visitors to
the open sea, where they can fish for a variety of species, and the region’s fish restaurants are famous for their mouth-watering seafood delicacies, which are cooked to perfection using traditional methods.
For those looking to explore the natural beauty of the region, a visit to the Souss Massa National Park is highly recommended. Covering 131 square miles, this park is home to unspoilt beaches, sand dunes, grassland steppes and charming fishing villages. The park is also rich in wildlife and a sanctuary for several endangered indigenous species like the North African ostrich, the Northern Bald Ibis, the addax, the dama gazelle, the Dorcas gazelle, or the scimitar oryx, which are all being reintroduced in the habitat. Furthermore, there are also many rare bird species, making it an excellent spot for bird watching.
