Agadir Airport to Imsouane

Imsouane is the surf trip you take for one thing: the bay, and the long, slow right-hand point break that peels along it. It's the furthest of the surf transfers from the airport — about 90 km up the coast, 90 minutes to nearly two hours. There's no bus and no train, and the final approach into the bay is remote enough that this is the route where pre-booking really earns its keep.

Getting there from the airport

Two realistic ways out to the bay, and they're not equal for somewhere this far out:

• Pre-booked private transfer — a driver waits with your name and runs the full 90 km to your camp or guesthouse in the village. From about €70, board space on request. The dependable choice.
• Grand taxi — possible but you'll negotiate hard, and some drivers won't commit to the remote run out to the bay or will want a premium. Agree the full fare and destination before loading.
• Rental car — sensible if you're touring the whole coast and want freedom to chase swell between Imsouane and Taghazout; the winding final road is fine in a normal car.

What the drive is like

The first stretch is the familiar coast road up past Aourir, Tamraght and Taghazout. Beyond the surf villages the road turns inland over scrubby hills, then drops back down a winding final 20 km to the bay — that last section is what stretches the journey out, not the raw distance. It's a normal sealed road, nothing a standard car can't handle, but it's slow, so don't book a tight plan off the back of the transfer and don't expect much in the way of services until you reach the village.

The bay and the long right

Imsouane's draw is "The Bay" — a long, mellow right-hand point break that can reel for hundreds of metres when it's working, one of the longest rides in Morocco. It's gentler and more forgiving than the punchier Taghazout points, which makes it a magnet for longboarders, improvers and anyone after a relaxed surf rather than a heavy one. The village itself stays small and unpolished — a working fishing harbour, a handful of cafés and camps — and that remoteness is exactly the appeal.
