Why visit
Agadir is Morocco's reliable sun-and-beach base, 350 days of sunshine, surf at Taghazout 20 km north, and easy day trips to Paradise Valley palm gorges and Souss-Massa National Park (flamingos, ibis). Sweet spots are March to May and September to November, mild and uncrowded. July and August are hot and packed with European charters.
When to avoid
Don't expect medina atmospherics, the rebuilt city is utilitarian. Head to Taroudant or Essaouira for old Morocco. Mid-summer beach hotels jam with European tour groups and prices spike. Ramadan timing (shifts annually) reduces daytime food and cafe options. Once you start in Agadir, keep the next stops close enough to preserve the day. In Agadir, a local replacement usually keeps the route clearer than a cross-town detour.
