10 Things to do in Tamraght that aren’t surfing
While Tamraght is mainly known for it’s surfing, there are many more things to do in this cozy town. You’re not a surfer? Not a problem, there are a myriad things to do making sure you won’t get bored here. Let’s go!
#1 Discover the Coffee Culture in Tamraght
Tamraght is small, but it’s bursting with cozy cafés where you can sip, snack, and people-watch all day. Try:
- Daydream for a coffee and souvenir shopping,
- Hey Yallah for a laid-back vibe (by the way, they organize pop-up markets and events from time to time),
- Nafas for a cozy cup, Let’s Be for fresh juices and veggie-friendly bites,
- Pueblo for a charming little escape.
#2 Visit Paradise Valley
It’s called Paradise for a reason. Just a short drive away, you’ll find turquoise pools, palm trees, and dramatic cliffs. Pack your swimsuit, a picnic, and spend the day swimming and exploring.
#3 Visit Agadir Souk
For a taste of real Moroccan life, head to the Souk El Had in Agadir. You can shop for spices, colorful ceramics, rugs, fresh produce, and everything in between. Don’t forget to practice your bargaining skills — it’s all part of the fun.
#4 Go Quad Biking
If you’re craving some adventure, rent a quad and explore the rugged Moroccan landscapes. You’ll zip through dusty trails, see hidden villages, and maybe even end up on the beach for a sunset ride.
#5 Relax on the Beach
Sometimes the best plan is no plan. Lay your towel on Tamraght Beach, dip into the Atlantic, read a book (we have a small library at Let Us Surf where you can borrow some good reads for the beach), and let time slow down.
#6 Visit Taghazout
This famous surf village is just 5 minutes from Tamraght. Even if you’re not surfing, it’s worth a wander. Browse cute shops, eat fresh seafood, and watch the sunset from a rooftop café.
#7 Go to a Hammam
Experience a traditional Moroccan bath — a mix of steam, scrubbing, and pure relaxation. You’ll come out feeling cleaner than you’ve ever been in your life.
#8 Horse Riding
Whether you want a gentle ride along the beach or a more adventurous trek inland, horseback riding here is a magical way to see the area. Sunset rides? Highly recommended.
#9 Join a Workout Class
The “expat” community of Tamraght is growing, and so are the activities. If you want to stay in shape during your holiday, join a workout class or visit one of the town’s gyms. And by the way: there are some girl’s only classes available too!
