Perhaps Morocco's top beach-resort destination is also one of its largest cities (pop. 422,000) - mostly modern because it was pretty much completely rebuilt after a 1960 earthquake, apart from several museums like one for Berber art and another of pre-1960 Agadir, for sightseeing you need to take day trips to traditional towns such as Tafraoute and Taroudannt, along with eco/adventure and Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains. The sandy beach is wide and offers full amenities, as well as kickier surf than on the Med (and watch that undertow!); there are gorgeous strands north of here, too, such as Aitswal, Bouyir, Taghazout, and Tamaounza. All are popular with surfers, as well.
