Algarve guide

Where to go on the Algarve coast

The Algarve runs 150 km along the south of Portugal. Each harbour is the best base for something different.

Lagos and Ponta da Piedade

In the west, Lagos is the base for the sea stacks and grottos of Ponta da Piedade. Small boats and kayaks can go inside the caves, and catamarans and private yachts cruise the coast.

Albufeira

Albufeira Marina is the closest big harbour to Benagil cave and the dolphin grounds, with jet skis, parasailing, fishing and yacht charters.

Vilamoura

Vilamoura Marina is home to our own Vilamoura Watersports Centre: jet skis, parasailing, banana boats, wakeboarding, dolphins, Benagil trips and fishing, all in one place.

Benagil cave

The most famous sea cave in Portugal, reached by boat from Albufeira, Vilamoura or Lagos. Small boats go inside when the sea is calm.

Dolphin watching

Common and bottlenose dolphins live off the Algarve all year. Trips run 1.5 to 3 hours, often combined with the caves.

Private boats and yachts

Speed boats, sailing yachts, catamarans and luxury motor yachts with skipper, for a few hours, a sunset or a full day.
