Driving to Legzira beach from Agadir: 155 km, 2 h 30
Legzira beach is 155 km from Agadir — 2 h 30 by road via Tiznit and then Mirleft. It is red sandstone cliffs dropping into the Atlantic and a natural arch that has become the image of southern Morocco; no bus route serves it directly.
With a car at €25 a day, no deposit and no mileage limit, the round trip fits comfortably into a day — and lets you add Sidi Ifni and Mirleft.
Book my car for LegziraThe route from Agadir
N1 to Tiznit (90 km, 1 h 15), then the Sidi Ifni road via Mirleft (65 km, 1 h 15). Tarmac national road throughout, with a few cliff bends after Mirleft. A free car park sits above the beach.
What you see
Two arches once stood on the beach; the larger collapsed in 2016, the second is still standing. Walk north at low tide to reach it dry-footed. The cliffs turn deep red in the golden hour, late in the afternoon.
Tides and safety
The stretch beneath the cliffs is only passable at low tide: check the times before setting off, the incoming tide can cut off the way back. Swimming is possible but the currents are strong and the beach is unpatrolled.
