The 9 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Portimao, Algarve

August 4, 2021 Hana Mouser

Portimao is a sailor’s delight, thanks to its calm waters and beautiful conditions. Plenty of elite international competitions happen here, but you don’t have to be a professional to set sail. Cruising the coast on the double-masted Santa Bernarda pirate ship is a family favorite. On dry land, you can wander the lovely Alvor boardwalk, enjoy a succulent seafood meal or zip around the go-kart track at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve.

Terrific little bar, just up from the pretty harbour in Alvor. Very friendly Irish lady behind the bar. Very quirky decor which we loved. Excellent service, very reasonably priced. A hidden gem. COVID 19 precautions executed to perfection, wiping of tables / spraying of seats etc.

Reviewed By 384stuart - Glasgow, United Kingdom

One of the best crazy golf courses we have played on our travels throughout various countries. The holes were well thought out and extremely tricky to score on. The service was great and we received a discount the second time we returned. I did think that 10 euros each was a bit steep before we played, but afterwards agreed that it was great value. The only downside to the place was finding it as it's situated down a back road behind a petrol station. We walked past it before being directed back. It would be worthwhile having a sign at or near the garage to show it's locality as it's definitely worth a visit.
