Agadir is Morocco's main Atlantic beach resort — long sandy beaches, a modern seafront promenade and a genuinely different pace from Marrakech. It's roughly three hours from Marrakech each way, so like Casablanca, this is an honestly long day rather than a quick add-on, but it's the most straightforward way to add real beach time to a Marrakech-based trip.
The day includes time on the beach or the Corniche, a stop at the Kasbah viewpoint overlooking the bay, and a wander through Souk El Had, one of Morocco's largest markets. It suits travellers craving open sea air and a beach afternoon partway through a city-and-desert itinerary — just go in with realistic expectations about the drive.
