Agadir: a promenade beside the Atlantic

Agadir’s beach promenade gives the city a clear relationship with the Atlantic shore. The broad coastal setting makes the meeting of town and sea a natural subject for exploration. earthTV’s perspectives on Agadir introduce this seaside character through the beach and the urban spaces arranged beside it.

Discovering Agadir’s seaside character

The beach promenade provides a useful connection between Agadir’s shoreline and its role as a seaside destination. It is a place to consider the coast at an everyday scale, where the edge of the city follows the open water and the beach becomes part of the urban landscape.

Agadir can be approached through this simple geographical relationship. An interest in the shore may lead towards the promenade’s setting, the arrangement of nearby buildings or the way a coastal city creates space beside the sea. The Atlantic provides the larger context, while the promenade gives that context a recognisable place within Agadir.
