Location: Algarve

Long beach with a realistically large parking lot. Sandy floor, ideal for beginners. Need as always to check the weather. As this is a beach break, the waves may not always be the best. Photos

Huge parking lots, surfboard rental, surf school, bar and beach restaurant on the beach. Ideal spot for beginners. Big enough beach for everyone, although it's usually pretty decently crowded with surfers. Photos

I'd say it was one of the better restaurants we've been to in Portuguese towns. If you're in the mood for a berta fish, I highly recommend it. We were there for dinner with our neighbors from the trailer next door.

A small bar on the beach, quite normal cooking there at cool but touristy prices.

We were still parked somewhere in these places. However, it is currently forbidden for the night. If you go there during the day, you can park your caravan up to 7m without any problems.

Perfect beach for learning to surf. Sandy bottom. Surprisingly it was also quite warm, even the water was about half a degree warmer than elsewhere, Berty.
