For those yearning for a dose of winter sunshine, there’s an under-the-radar treasure just hours away from the UK boasting balmy 24C days and stunning white sand beaches.

Discover Agadir, Morocco’s hidden paradise, merely a four-hour flight from British shores ideal for a rejuvenating weekend getaway.

Beach aficionados will find their slice of heaven at Plage d’Agadir, the city’s top beach haven.

Spanning six kilometres, this sandy retreat is flanked by eateries and boutiques, offering visitors ample golden sands to bask on and a variety of activities to engage in.

“A wide sandy city beach that is clearly loved by locals and tourists alike,” praised a traveller on TripAdvisor.

“There is plenty of space for children to play in the sand and the sea is perfect for paddling in medium size waves.

If you go further out you can swim. Behind the beach is the wide pedestrianised promenade, which makes for a lovely walk. Overall this is one of the best city beaches I’ve visited.”

Holidaymakers can also delve into the local culture at the city’s souk, hunting for keepsakes or sampling fresh regional fare, reports the Mirror.

Wildlife enthusiasts won’t want to miss Crocoparc, Agadir’s top-rated attraction on TripAdvisor, where over 300 crocodiles reside.

A reviewer enthusiastically described their visit, saying: “An awesome trip. The park is beautiful and clean.

The crocs have plenty of space to swim and bask.”

Thanks to its seaside setting, Agadir offers an array of exquisite seafood, alongside traditional Moroccan delights like tagines and couscous
