Watersports
With such a large variety of watersports available on the Algarve beach strip, there really is no excuse not to give one, or more, a go. For those feeling energetic, try parasailing, waterskiing, or windsurfing; for a more leisurely excursion why not hire a pedalo or a sailing boat, and for a truly unforgettable treat head out to sea for some dolphin-watching.
Water Sports take place all over the Algarve coast, but perhaps the best places to head are Lagos, Vilamoura or Meia Praia.
