Explore The Old Town
A holiday in Ferragudo should definitely venture away from the glorious beachfront to explore a truly authentic Algarve fishing village. A warren of tiny cobbled streets contain charming whitewashed stone houses leading down to an eccentric market square - the focus of daily village life. Relive its historic past and explore the ornate parish church or the austere 16th century fort which offers fabulous panoramic views.
Beaches
The compact resort beach comprises fine golden sand and gently lapping clear waters which are ideal for restful days of family sunbathing. This leads to the larger Praia Grande beach where a myriad of water sports are available yet still enjoys a subdued and serene atmosphere. Even in the height of summer it is rarely overcrowded and pleasant promenade walks are a popular feature.
Aqua Park
The invitingly close Slide and Splash water park will be high on the list of activities for all kids and is just a short journey away from the resort centre. Towering water flumes and slides, a fun fair and several swimming pools are bound to keep all youngsters occupied for hours and plenty of organised events and games are always planned. A visit is sure to be an essential part of any family holiday in Ferragudo.
Lagos
A pleasant day out is guaranteed in the coastal town of Lagos, a historic port full of atmosphere and vibrancy. A great range of restaurants and bars compliment its attractive colourful architecture and charming waterfront. Explore its history at the impressive castle or in the remnants of an ancient slave market or simply relax with a pleasure cruise around the harbour.
Water Sports
Although a sleepy beach resort, Ferragudo has no shortage of exhilarating water sports to practice and a day of excitement waits for enthusiasts of kayaking, jet skiing and windsurfing. Calm seas and gentle onshore breezes ensure safe and rewarding conditions and children are especially well catered for with many supervised programs for youngsters.
