Anza Dinosaur Footprints
Anza
Cretaceous dinosaur footprints preserved on a rock bed by the sea at Anza, north of the city. They are clearly visible at low tide, and the site is a free, off-the-beaten-path attraction.
On the seashore at Anza, north of Agadir port, a flat rock bed preserves dinosaur footprints about 85 million years old. Research in the 2010s confirmed them, and they include tracks of theropod and ornithopod dinosaurs. The prints are clearest at low tide, and simple information boards stand on site. Admission is free, and the visit takes about 15 minutes. You can stop here on the way to Taghazout. Check tide times in advance, and watch your step, as the rock surface is slippery.
