Boredom does not exist in the Algarve. No matter what the age of tourists or residents is, there is always something to see or do. Children are very important to the Portuguese. Almost everywhere, even in large shopping malls, something special is offered.


 

  • Water sports are offered on almost all beaches with infrastructure. The selection is varied. In addition, various boats (with and without motor) and paddleboards are rented.
  • The western part of the Algarve, and especially the west coast, offers surfers great opportunities to enjoy their sport.
  • In the marinas different boat tours are offered: grotto or coastal trips, dolphin or whale watching as well as deep-sea fishing for different species of fish. The scope of the tours is very variable and varies from provider to provider.
