- Praia da Marinha and the Benagil caves (by boat or kayak)
- Lagos and the Ponta da Piedade
- Tavira, with its Roman bridge and rooftops
- Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, the southwestern tip of Europe
If it rains

Getting around and taxis
- The car is the most practical way to explore the coast

Tips
