There is one thing
Portugal
has a lot of, and that's
beaches. Although a relatively
small country, there is over 832 kilometres of coastline
with some stunning sandy beaches to enjoy throughout the
country.
Though you may think a
beach holiday can only be taken in the most southerly
region of
Portugal, the
Algarve, you would be wrong.
Portugal also has some stunning beaches on the Blue,
Green and Silver Coasts (Costa Azul, Costa Verde and
Costa Prata). |

Portugal has (as of
2011) 271
Blue Flag beaches, all of which have life guards operating during
the height of the season providing peace of mind when
you are paddling with your young ones in the Atlantic
surf.
During the height of the
holiday season in
Portugal - the middle two weeks of
August - the larger and more popular beaches up and down
the country can become very busy and it can be hard to
find a spare patch of sand to lay your towel.
Taking a day out at the
beach is a popular past time for many Portuguese
families and therefore if you are visiting
Portugal
during this busy period be prepared to bask in the sun
in close proximity to thousands of others, who all have
the same idea. |
