BEACHES
The Algarve has 200-
The Algarve's climate is
mild in winter (from 15° C) and hot (sometimes really hot) in summer (to 30°C). With
three thousand hours of sunshine per year the entire coastline enjoys a Mediterranean
style microclimate and if the ice cream or iced tea does not cool you down you can
always stand in the sea -
In caring for the beaches the Algarve authorities take into account quality, safety and respect for nature. All of them are cared for and maintained to the highest standard. 48 Algarve beaches have blue flag awards and 83 have the Gold quality award.
MARINAS
MARINAS
Eleven Portuguese marinas have been awarded the Blue Flag – Of these, Lagos, Portimão,
Albufeira, Vilamoura and Vila Real de Santo António are in the Algarve. Lagos and
Vilamoura marinas have also received two other awards. All of these marinas from
the smallest to the biggest, offer all the basic services needed by any sailor, and
in some of them, there are sailing schools authorised to grant official skippers’
licences to those that qualify, to learn to sail and navigate, or to simply learn
underwater diving.
It must also be remembered that these ports on the Costa del Sol
generally have a magnificent nightlife and top restaurants, with many stylish boutiques
and shops of all kinds
The marinas contain shops, gardens, fountains, restaurants, bars and cafes as well
as boats, yachts and sometimes even small ships. The Algarve's marinas are self contained
small worlds offering recreational activities and relaxation. Lagos Marina is particularly
attractive as it sits opposite the main town road opposite the outdoor bars and cafés.
Considered to be one of the largest bays in Europe, this is the perfect place for
engaging in some water sports.
Facing the sea, and offering a stunning view over Ferragudo, Portimão Marina has
a shopping area and a recreational space presenting undisturbed relaxation. A stroll
among colourful sails and flags in the sun along a shopping promenade equipped with
leisure areas and restaurants, swimming pools, a private beach, a yacht club, diving
school and sailing school is hard to resist.
Albufeira Marina is a stone's throw from the old town centre of Albufeira and designed
by the world-
Vilamoura Marina, the largest marina in the country and already more than 30 years old, is one of the places that you must stop at if you're looking for complete relaxation for all of your senses, coupled with the chance to enjoy a moment or two of excellent entertainment. Whether arriving by land or sea, visitors have at their disposal a vast range of services, which include excellent sports and leisure facilities, a modern cinema and a sophisticated casino. Having been awarded the European Union's Blue Flag, the marina has the guarantee of clean water and sound environmental management that everyone can immediately recognise.
