Taghazout, Morocco

Taghazout, Morocco

A former fishing village north of Agadir that has become Africa's friendliest surf town, all blue boats, mint tea and board racks. Beginners get mellow sandy peaks right in front of the village while the famous points further north entertain the experts. Winter is prime — flights are short, the water is wetsuit-mild and the tagine after a session tastes like a religious experience.
