The area
Things to do around Tamraght and Taghazout
Sunrise Surf House is in Tamawanza, a quiet clifftop neighbourhood of Aourir on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, between Agadir and Taghazout. It’s a working Berber village, not a resort strip: the beach is a 3–5 minute walk, and cafés, shops and surf are all walkable.
Surf spots
Surf schools in the area offer lessons for all levels.
- K12 and Banana · Walking distance
Left and right point peaks, beginner to intermediate. - Croco and Devil’s Rock · Tamraght
A few minutes up the coast. - Anchor Point, Panoramas, Killer and Boilers · Taghazout and north
Points and reefs that work on bigger swell. Mind the rocks.

Eating out

Getting around
- On foot
The beach, cafés and surf are all walkable. - Taxis
They come to the door: about 4 minutes to Tamraght, 10 minutes to Taghazout. We share trusted taxi contacts after you arrive, and InDrive also works well for booking a driver. - Scooters
Rental shops are plentiful in Aourir, good for chasing different breaks. - From the airport
Agadir–Al Massira (AGA) is about 40–50 minutes by road. Take a grand taxi or a private transfer, and agree the fare before getting in; the small city taxis (petits taxis) don’t make the trip.
Good to know
- Cash
Plenty of places are cash-only. ATMs are at the banks by the roundabout in Aourir. - Pharmacy
There’s a 24-hour pharmacy in Tamraght, with more along the main road. - Dress
It’s relaxed here, but longer clothing helps visitors blend in. - Ramadan
Eating and drinking discreetly in daylight is the considerate thing to do.
