My family and I had a great time here! That was a decent amount of rides and water playground and…read moreslides for the youngsters. The water playgrounds were not deep at all and they had lifeguards working! There's a little kid water playground and then there's a bigger kid water playground to include waterslides that can be used by young or big kids. We literally spent all day here! Bring swimsuits and a towel if you plan on getting wet. Bring a lot of sunscreen. We did not need floatation devices for our kids because the pools were not deep at all. If I had to guess, mid calf height was probably the deepest for most adults. However, there will still be a line of parents watching the kids along with the lifeguard at the edge or in the pool play area itself. There are lockers to store things but they fill up to capacity fast. My youngest kid is about 3 1/2 feet and was able to ride all the rides except the adult pirate ship. Plenty of food choices so it won't be a problem. My only complaint, there are a lot of smokers here. Most try to smoke away from the kids, but the wind goes wherever it wants.

As we traveled through Algarve we wanted a day to relax by the pool, so we decided to stop in at…read morethis theme park. When we arrived at this park we didn't know what to expect, but we figured that it would be different than the parks we had been to in the US. As we imagined the experience was different, but we loved spending the afternoon here. The park was smaller than we expected, but everyone was polite, welcoming and relaxed. Not once did we experience the same busyness of the US parks we have been too, and it was nice to relax in their pools. The other great attractions in the park were the synchronized swimmers as well as the dolphin shows they had. In the end, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and we would totally stop here again if we were visiting Algarve.

GORGEOUS. I could have stayed here all day, well all week if I could have. Beautiful rock…read moreformations, soft sand, perfect water. Great for pictures and relaxing on the beach. Has a restaurant as well with bathrooms! At the top where you park there are a few shops with fruit and umbrella rentals and clothes. The first guy at the top selling fruit is a jerk and asks for money if you need any help at all AFTER he helps you, what a scammer, don't buy anything from him. He was the first and only person in Portugal we met that wasn't nice. If you need to ask someone a question or for help don't go to him, go to the guys below him, and definitely buy stuff from the guys below him, they were very helpful and nice.

A bunch of businesses rent out chairs and umbrellas and there's some water sports as well. Showers to rinse off the sand and salt too. Wooden planks to walk on, which is important since the sand is painfully hot in summer. Even though very popular and well visited it didn't feel overcrowded due to its size...there's enough room for everybody. There's only one restaurant directly on the beach. The "O Farol". It's an ok place, but if you just want some drinks and light food you should take a seat at the attached kiosk, which is run by the same restaurant. Great to enjoy the views and watch the world go by. As nice as this beach is, be aware that the water here is pretty cold. You either have to get really hot first or it will be only a quick dip in the water.

We parked at the northern most point of this beach which is where Maps.me took us, but I can't imagine where everyone parks when it's high season. We barely found a spot along this very narrow road and yet we were the only people actually on the beach because it was such a crazy windy day. So good luck with that part.
