AlgarExperience offers a wide range of activities, where three of them includes a delicious barbecue meal on the beach, made by the F&B Department and by the crew.
The Beach Barbecue and Sunset Barbecue are the experiences we recommend if you want to enjoy a traditionally Portuguese meal on a beach inaccessible by land, in a unique setting where you’ll see nothing but cliffs, the sea and the horizon – a moment of pure relaxation.
The Pontal Beach is where most of the barbecues take place, as it offers enough sand space to host around 100 people (even though the maximum capacity of our vessels for these activities is 70 passengers). It is a beach with no land access, so you can only get there by boat – which makes the experience even more intimate.
However, we cannot control the tides or the wind, which can sometimes blow more intensely. When sea conditions do not allow landing at Pontal Beach, the barbecues are held at Praia Grande in Ferragudo. This beach is located at the final stretch of the Arade River estuary and is protected by the river’s two breakwaters, making it a calm beach with a wide sandy area and little noticeable wave action.
There are many photographic records of these magnificent beaches, however there is nothing better than seeing with your own eyes, right?
