Agadir's view

Agadir's long beach extends for more than 5 km and it's large variously from 200 op to 400 meters, depending by the tide.
The north part of the beach is protected from the waves, which are higher in the southern part.
The City is a famous turistic location so there are always people on the beach, but, due to the dimension of it, you can always find a lot of free areas to launch and land your kite very safely even close to the turistic center area.
When you're not kiting you can take time to visit the casbah (the hystirical cittadella which dominate the city) and the souck (the classic medioriental market where, you can find spices and any kind of souvenir).
Agadir is not the classic moroccan city because of its turistic attitude, but this is good for night life which is full of life, compared to any other muslim country places.
You can rent a flat in town or find one of many hotels positioned directly on the beach, which still have good prices and service.
