La Plage Blanche: Experience the Coastal Beauty from Agadir

Tour Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Agadir to La Plage Blanche, one of Morocco’s most spectacular and remote beaches. Located near the city of Guelmim, south of Agadir, this pristine beach is part of the Souss Massa National Park and offers a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility. La Plage Blanche stretches over 40 kilometers of beige sand with red reflections in places, forming an extension of the Sahara dunes and facing the Canary Islands. This is not your typical postcard beach but a breathtaking destination for those who appreciate unspoiled nature.

 Day 1: Agadir – Massa Park – Legzira – Sidi Ouarzeg – La Plage Blanche

Your journey begins with a departure from Agadir, heading south to explore the stunning landscapes of the Souss Massa National Park. This coastal wilderness is renowned for its rich birdlife, including flamingoes, bald ibises, sandgrouse, cranes, and ducks. The park spans a coastal strip 65 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide, making it a haven for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.

Continuing the adventure, you will drive along a picturesque route from Mirleft to Legzira, famous for its enormous red-orange arches carved by the ocean into the coastal cliffs. Although not widely known to the general public, Legzira is a favorite spot among surfers and paragliders. A delicious lunch awaits you in the charming beach village of Sidi Ouarzeg, located just south of Sidi Ifni.

From there, you will journey further south to reach the magical La Plage Blanche before sunset. Here, a well-equipped beach camp with private comfortable tents, proper bathrooms, and delicious Moroccan cuisine will be set up exclusively for you. Upon arrival, you can climb nearby dunes to watch an amazing sunset, and as night falls, gather around a campfire for local music, singing, and a hearty dinner under a sky full of stars.

 Day 2: La Plage Blanche – Guelmim – Tighmert – Tiznit – Agadir

Rise early to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the high sand dunes and the long stretch of beach. After a satisfying breakfast at the camp, the journey continues to Guelmim, specifically to the historical oasis of Tighmert. Located in the heart of the southern Saharan region, Tighmert is a stunning natural wonder known for its tall palm trees and rich cultural heritage.

Tighmert Oasis offers visitors an authentic glimpse into the daily life and ancestral values of the “blue men,” the Sahrawi nomads. This oasis, one of the oldest in southern Morocco, has preserved its traditional way of life and agricultural practices. You’ll explore the oasis and visit the nearby Kasbah “Caravanseral,” which now houses a museum dedicated to Sahrawi nomads. The museum features a collection of traditional objects, including acacia funnels, camel bra, copper mixers, and 17th-century pottery.

After discovering the oasis, you will enjoy a lunch surrounded by the natural beauty of Tighmert. If time permits, a visit to the Fask waterfalls will be planned. These magnificent waterfalls cascade down a canyon, creating a beautiful landscape among aquatic plants and offering an enchanting retreat.

On the way back to Agadir, you may stop by the city of Tiznit, famous for its old Medina and exquisite silver craftsmanship. Arriving in Agadir by late afternoon, you will conclude this memorable two-day trip filled with the serene beauty of La Plage Blanche and the cultural richness of Morocco.
