Who makes the Essaouira to Aghroud trip
Why this trip? Most departures from Essaouira are the second half of a coast-and-city trip, or surfers and kiters moving on once the wind drops. As for Aghroud, it is where beginners find gentle waves and families find space away from the busier villages.
The road from Essaouira to Aghroud
South of Essaouira the N1 heads inland through Smimou and Tamanar's argan hills — the stretch where goats famously climb the trees — before cutting back towards the coast at Imsouane. Southbound from Imsouane the coast road passes Tamri's banana plantations and the Cap Ghir lighthouse before dropping into the surf villages. The final stretch: aghroud sits on the coast just south of Tamraght, between the Aourir junction and Banana Point. Good places to break the drive: an argan oil cooperative near Tamanar, goats in the argan trees around Smimou and the Cap Ghir lighthouse viewpoint.
Arriving in Aghroud
Aghroud is a small stretch of surf coast between Aourir and Tamraght, known for its sand-bottom beach break and a few low-key guesthouses. Addresses here are rarely numbered — share a pin or your host's phone number so the driver can call on approach.
Before you go
A final practical note on Aghroud: surf is most reliable in winter; summer afternoons bring onshore wind. And when you are ready to move on, Paradise Valley starts just inland from here, and Taghazout's point breaks are ten minutes north. The return leg, Aghroud to Essaouira, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
