The main strip along the front of Olhao is beautiful. The town hasn’t yet fully embraced tourism meaning it’s not as mainstream as some other areas in the Algarve. Along the front is filled with restaurants, cafes and bars the night scene is pretty lively especially when there is football on. There are also plenty of green spaces and children’s play parks dotted along the front with a decent view out over the sea. Public toilets are available with a small tip for cleaning that should be provided to the person just inside the door. The ferry to the beaches nearby go from here also, there is free parking at the port end of the strip in a large car park but spaces are always at a premium, again local Portuguese are on hand to guide you to a space but they will expect a small tip for their assistance. Other than that there is street parking available and some paid parking areas. I would actually recommend using the Jumbo supermarket underground car park in town myself and walking out the front strip. Because it’s underground it’s out of the sun, there are always spaces available, it’s free on a Sunday and the walk isn’t too far but I guess could be with small children. Olhao also offers some beautiful back streets and some decent wall art all of which would be shame if you didn’t take time to appreciate it. The outdoor market is on Saturday mornings and open from 7am but get here early for parking! The covered indoor markets are on all the time and offer a decent range of meat, fruit and veg. Olhao has so much to offer and I think is beautiful, well worth a visit!
