Why this trip
Golden cliffs, rock arches in the sea and a beach that stretches for kilometres: the Algarve around Portimão is a classic for families looking for sand and sun without much effort. Praia da Rocha lies right by the town, and the distances between accommodation and water stay short. A boat trip to the Benagil Cave is an adventure for children, provided they can swim and wear life jackets. The Ponta da Piedade near Lagos offers rocks, a view and steps on which children can move around.
Praia dos Três Irmãos is a beach with rock formations in which children look for hiding places. Boat tours from Alvor are another way to see the coast up close. As accommodation, the Jupiter Algarve Hotel is among the properties families can look at. The country data name March to June and September to October as the best time, when the water is pleasant and the beaches are quieter.
With a flight of about 2.5 hours to Portugal, the journey is short. Lisbon and Cascais lie further north and are suitable for a follow-on trip if the family wants to combine city and sea.
