About the Region
Where this Legzira Beach Morocco tour takes place
Legzira sits on Morocco's southern Atlantic coast, roughly 10 kilometers north of Sidi Ifni and 150 kilometers south of Agadir. The coastline is dramatic, with steep cliffs dropping to a wide sand beach where massive red sandstone arches rise directly from the shore. The landscape is raw and sparsely developed, with the Anti-Atlas foothills meeting the ocean. The climate is temperate and windy, cooled by the Canaries Current, with fog common in the mornings. The area around Mirleft and Sidi Ifni has a quiet, off-the-beaten-path character shaped by Amazigh fishing communities and former Spanish influence.
