Ferragudo Town Centre

One of the nicest and most quaint places on this part of the Algarve. We parked - free - on the beach area and walked into the town in 10-mins. It's an atmospheric little place, right across the water from the much less attractive Portimao! Excellent food in one of many restaurants in the square and plenty of places to shop for good quality mementos. Highly recommended.

We visited the old town, caught the river taxi which is a great experience, about 10 minutes to cross, so worth it. Went to the old fort, but it's been closed for a while. There are some stunning beaches there and worth the visit.

Pretty town to visit, opposite Portimao. A church back dates to early 1800. The bells continues to chime. Lovely typical Portuguese back street to walk through. Lively square, full of restaurants. See if you can spot the storks nesting on top of industrial chimneys scattered around. Lovely beach area within walking distance from the main square.

Tucked away on the coast, this small fishermen’s village is pure peace. Quiet streets, stunning sea views, and a slow, welcoming vibe. The local food spots are a real treat—fresh seafood, cozy cafes, and warm hospitality. A perfect escape for anyone looking to unwind and eat well.

Beautiful little fishing village with stunning beaches, amazing views from hilltop church. There are lots of little shops, Bars and restaurants all with gorgeous views. We visited in February and it was quite busy and took us a while to find parking so I would imagine it would be very busy in summer months, and parking would be a struggle, but this place is definitely worth a visit.
