Sweeping beaches, golden sunsets and waterfront cafés are all part of the deal when it comes to Portimao holidays.
Beachy bliss
Head to sun-kissed Portimao for some of the best beaches in the Algarve. King of the coast is Praia da Rocha, a two-kilometre stretch of golden sand protected by towering cliffs. The beach slopes softly into the sea, meaning the waters are shallow and family-friendly.
Oceanfront entertainment
With its riverside setting and long-standing fishing tradition, Portimao is a water-loving city worthy of Portugal's beloved coast. Seafood restaurants still serve grilled sardines, a classic Portimao favourite, near the docks. Meanwhile, the marina promenade's the most vibrant part of town – people gather here for dinner, drinks and sunset strolls.
Ancient Lagos
One of the Algarve's best-loved resorts, Lagos is a seaside stunner. It's also just a 20-minute train ride from Portimao. Head for the old town, where 16th-century walls enclose a maze of cobbled streets, cosy restaurants and historic churches. Or, cram in extra beach time at Meia Praia.
