**Short answer:** sandboarding in Agadir happens in the Timlalin dunes, on the coast north of the city. No experience is needed, boards and safety equipment are provided, and the best time to go is late afternoon into sunset.

## What is sandboarding?
Sandboarding is like snowboarding, but on sand. You stand (or sit) on a board and slide down the slope of a dune. The sand is softer than snow, so falls are gentle.

## Where to sandboard near Agadir
The Timlalin dunes sit on the Atlantic coast near Tamri and Imsouane. The slopes are long and soft, which makes them ideal for beginners. Timlalin Vibes picks you up from your hotel in Agadir or Taghazout.

## What to wear
- Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting sandy
- Closed shoes or bare feet on the board
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- A light jacket for sunset

## Tips for your first run
1. Start on a gentle slope and sit down for the first slide.
2. Keep your weight slightly back and your knees bent.
3. Lean gently to steer, and drag a hand to slow down.

## Combine it with other activities
Most guests pair sandboarding with a quad bike ride or a camel ride, and finish with a Moroccan dinner in the dunes. See our [tours](/tours) to compare options.
