WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

The Algarve's Mediterranean climate is magical, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. There is absolutely something to do here any month of the year, but the best time to sunbathe on the glorious beaches and take a dip in the ocean is between June and August. July is the hottest month of the year in the Algarve. Like most beaches in Europe during summertime, Praia da Marinha will be busy, but if you go in the spring (April to May) or fall (mid-September to October), you will find times when you might have it almost to yourself. This could make your experience of enjoying this beach so much better, as you can truly soak in the natural beauty without the peak season crowds. If you're visiting during the summer, just make sure to come early as parking fills up fast. You can also visit and enjoy it from the cliffs above, especially during sunset, as the colors are beyond fantastic!
