Pura Vida

Reviewed By melinafranziska - Feuerthalen, Switzerland

We felt totally safe with Chris and his colleagues while diving around some beautiful dive spots in Sagres. Chris impressed very much with his expertise about diving and his knowledge about the marine life. The diving gear was in a very good condition. We will definitely come back!

Enjoy an area surrounded by green areas and venture out in our two courses of mini golf 18 holes totally climatized by nebulization. The only one in Portugal. If you prefer, just relax on the terrace while your children play. Or, why not, break all the discovery of Vilamoura on the tourist train. The options are many and will be a great day!

Olheiros de Agua Doce

The name "Olhos d'Agua" is derived from various underwater freshwater springs that flow into the sea, along the beach, the sand and rocks. Only visible when it is low tide.These famous "olheiros" gave the town its name. A phenomenon of rare beauty and a major tourist attraction. Here settled Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, who practiced fishing and developed salting and drying of fish. It is a tradition go to olheiros and taste the water.

Praia do Beliche

Reviewed By NickW3682 - Mangawhai Heads, New Zealand

I used to go to this beach many years ago and much to my delight...not much has changed. It still has the steep steps down to the beach, beautiful golden sand, lovely clean water with perfectly shaped waves for body surfing or surfing. Since I was last here, they have built a beach bar which has made the experience even better. And now there are surfers, lots of surfers....but there is plenty of room for everyone so it does not detract. There are also surf lifeguards now. There is still one beach which is clothes optional and the whole place has a really good chilled vibe. Totally worth the trip down and up the stairs. The only things to be aware is it can be hard to find parking at the top of the cliff on a hot day and the water can be on the cool side (It is the Atlantic!). This beach is why I came back to Sagres and is why I will go back there in the future. It is so good I am regretting writing this review if it means more people will go there.
