The village of Taghazout itself, on the hillside directly above the beach, is where most backpackers sleep. Everything is within a 10 minute walk: the sand, surf shops, cafés, grocery stalls and the lanes where you will meet fellow travelers. Dorm beds run roughly US$8 to 18 a night, and private rooms US$25 to 50, with the higher figures in winter. This area is social, easy to navigate on foot, and has the strongest concentration of surf camps and yoga houses, many with rooftop terraces and shared breakfasts that make solo travel simple.The quieter, more local streets at the north end of the village, toward the fishing harbor, suit anyone who wants cheaper rooms and a calmer evening.Anchor Point and Hash Point, a short walk or taxi ride along the coast to the north, put you next to the main surf breaks and away from the village center. They work well if you surf at dawn and want to sleep early.Tamraght and Aourir, about 10 to 15 minutes by shared taxi south, are less touristy, with local markets and lower prices, but fewer social spaces. Pick them if you have a longer stay and a tight budget.
