About
Locally-run surf camp in Taghazout offering all-inclusive packages from 230EUR. About 70% of guests are first-time surfers, making this a solid choice for beginners. The team speaks Arabic, English, and French. Beyond surfing, they organize trips to Imsouane, Paradise Valley, and the Atlas Mountains. Family-style meals, rooftop hangouts, and a relaxed Moroccan atmosphere bring surfers together from around the world.
Locals Taghazout Surfcamp sits in Morocco's famous surf village, minutes from breaks that draw surfers year-round. The camp is run entirely by locals who grew up surfing these waves and know exactly where to find the best conditions each day.
The operation focuses heavily on beginners. According to their own FAQ, around 70% of guests have never surfed before arriving. The instructors are experienced at getting first-timers standing and riding whitewater within their first sessions. That said, intermediate and advanced surfers join the guiding trips to spots like Anchor Point, Killer Point, and the long walls of Imsouane when conditions line up.
Accommodation ranges from budget dorms at 15EUR per night to private rooms with sea views. All rooms have access to common areas including rooftop terraces where guests watch the sunset and check the swell. The vibe leans social without being a party hostel. Shared meals bring people together, and evening hangouts happen naturally.
Food is traditional Moroccan. Breakfast fuels morning sessions, packed lunches travel to the beach, and dinners feature tagine, couscous, and other local dishes. The kitchen accommodates dietary requests when given advance notice.
Beyond surfing, the camp organizes side trips. The Imsouane day excursion takes surfers to one of Africa's longest right-hand point breaks. Paradise Valley offers swimming in natural pools beneath waterfalls. Quad bike tours explore the countryside, and the Agadir souk provides a taste of Moroccan market culture.
Solo female travelers are specifically welcomed. The camp mentions hosting them regularly and maintaining a respectful, safe environment. Group bookings for universities and student organizations receive custom rates for larger parties.
