Anchor Point stands as Morocco's most famous surf break, situated just north of Taghazout. This rocky point is world-renowned for its long, powerful right-hand waves that can reach heights of 5 meters during big swells, making it a theater for high-level surfing. Beyond the sport, it is a favorite gathering spot for locals and travelers alike to witness spectacular sunsets in a tranquil, natural setting.

Anchor Point is widely considered a highlight of the Taghazout area, praised for its world-class surfing and stunning natural scenery. Many visitors are captivated by the sight of surfers riding massive 4–5 meter waves, especially during peak swell conditions. Reviewers also highlight the location as a premier spot for watching the sunset, noting its 'magical energy' and peaceful atmosphere. The 15–25 minute walk from the village is frequently mentioned as a scenic and easy way to reach the point. While the area is mostly natural and quiet, some guests noted the presence of vendors during surf competitions. A recurring practical tip from reviewers is to be mindful of parking hustlers, with some suggesting parking on the main road to avoid them.
