The Lowdown
Sagres has everything for a relaxing holiday. It´s a world away from the hi-rise Eastern Algarve but still has plenty to keep you entertained when not surfing. The town has an excellent selection of restaurants, from pizza places to traditional Portuguese BBQs to more exclusive establishments serving international cuisine.
Who's it for?
The Sagres 'surf camp' is ideal for couples, and surfers looking for a little relaxation but still wanting a good selection of restaurants and bars. Located on the most westerly point of the region, the south western Algarve has the advantage of 2 surfable coastlines to explore. The west coast (Vicentina) and the south coast, both offering magnificent point, reef and beach breaks and excellent conditions for surfing, from the beginner to pro.
We hate to use surfing clichés but this region is now being hailed as the 'European California' by travelling surfers due to its warm weather and huge variety of surf spots.
