Water fun

 

The beach Praia da Bordeira, also called beach of Carrapateira, is within walking distance of the village. The beach is very wide and with the low tide it even becomes a lot wider. Here flows a stream that sometimes forms a small lagoon which is especially popular with children. It is a safe and quiet place for bathing or relaxing. In addition to Carrapateira, the nearby beaches of Amado, Arrifana and Monte Clerigo are very popular.

If you don’t want to go to he beach for a day, try something else: there are several amusement parks in the area that offer lots of fun activities in or on the water: Zoomarine, Slide & Splash, Sea Life (ocean safaries with the aim of showing wild dolphins in their natural environment. You can also admire other wildlife such as turtles or even sometimes sharks). 

A visit to the zoo of Lagos is another possibility.
