Great video. Gonna be in Tavira at the beginning of April. Hopefully i will be able to do some wateractivities. Wanna try Stand up paddeling. Looks like a lot of fun.
That is simply amazing. What a beautiful area of the world. I've never experienced beaches like that. I'm looking forward to visiting. Hopefully this year. I did find it strange that the 2 people on the boat were still wearing their mask.
@@AlgarveAddicts Thank you very much from someone with sensitive hearing. I know that background music can be trendy but what you have to say and show is much, much more important and relevant. Please keep up the good work.
Hello Nick. Thank you for putting together such a wonderful overview of the Algarve beaches. It's nice to have this info in one place. 👍🏻 BTW--When you find time, could you do a commentary on how Algarve beaches compare with Silver Coast and nearby Porto beaches (e.g., water temps, windy conditions, fog, best season). I've heard water temps near Porto can be frigid, fog and wind are common, and Nazare has world's largest waves but looking for 'typical' conditions--if they exist. Cheers.
Hello Nick, been watching your shows since the beginning, almost got a flat in Lisbon 2 months ago but my PCC expired and now the Golden Visa requirements have changed, can you do an episode on the New Golden Visa requirements as of 2022 - thanks...
Whang , the main thing now is you can’t buy in Lisbon , Porto or any of the coastal areas ( including Algarve ) and they increased the minimum amount of the different investment options .
Thank you Nick, this video came in exactly the right time. We live in the Lisbon area and are planning a trip to Algarve for a couple of days any week now, just waiting for a little higher temperature, so we really can enjoy walking on the beaches. Now I can really dive into the planning.
WOW! what a magnificent region of Portugal , you did a great job with all the detail and in making me feel very jealous that I'm up here in the freezing cold in Canada eheheh , been following you for awhile now and I must say you have done a super job showing us how much Portugal is so very underrated, but these types of videos are opening peoples eyes on how much beautiful Portugal has so much to offer to the visitor and the ones making the move to live there , keep up the great work my friend it has been very enjoyable,,, Cheers amigo with a glass or 2 of great Portuguese wine , now back to shoveling the white stuff :)
Love your videos,for a start. But maybe , someday, you can make a video on the people who have left algarve, and why. Because I am reading from people who have bad experiences. Especially the talk of the portugees being a bit backwards, and teasing the expats. Mainly in the villages. Thanks ! Bye
Let me know if you find any? Living in the Algarve is definitely not for everyone. It's a very countrified and seasonal atmosphere that can get a bit much for people used to big cities.
It is fairly similar all along however it tends to be a bit cooler and windier in the west. Naturally the further you go away from the ocean you'll get slightly higher and lower temperatures i.e. more variation away from the moderating influence of the ocean. .
Please give more info on what things cost. Anytime you have a drink tell us what it cost. What’s a kayak daily rental. Show some menus of restaurants etc.
Hi Ricardo, thank you so much. Go and get the app "Voa na boa" and also check this out, (although there is a ton of conflicting info around so read all the articles you can find). drone-traveller.com/drone-laws-portugal/
Stunning! Great job Nick thanks for sharing it with us. I have never paddle boarded before. It does look like a great way to explore and get some exercise in. I would love to see a video on the sport. Maybe a comparison to kayaking. How far you can go and how strenuous it is for a few hours.
Side question, I remember seeing information, somewhere, about a restaurant/bar built into the beach cliff. Do you happen to know of it, are there more than one? Could you talk about car rental/hire in the Algarve? Yes, I know of Hertz and Europcar, but are there more affordable local companies? This time we are using the CP-AP to get from Lisboa to the Algarve ergo looking at car rental there.
Nick, a Paddle Boarding video would be awesome. Best launch points, caves & other sites, etc. As a newbie, it would be great to get an idea as to how much distance you can cover in 1 hr, 2 hr, etc. Some good stopping points for food & beverages would be great also! Keep up the great work!
I will definitely do this at some point. It'll be fun but won't appeal to a huge amount of people. Maybe I'll do it incorporating some of my long distance paddle adventure trips...
Love it!! Can you shed any light on where the dedicated nudist beaches are in the Algarve? Not because I am nudist... but walking on the beach last summer stumbled across one (either that, or there was something on that day I didn't know about!). Would be good to know, and therefore to avoid (or join!) if you wanted?!
In my paddles I have come across a fair amount of naked people 😂 Basically any remote beach would work for nudists. Near Alvor in those coves, along Armação de Pêra's Praia Grande, just west of Vale do Lobo (strangely enough), west of Praia de Faro and along the remote stretched of Praia Tavira (more to the west). Also in Lagos on Praia Canavial. Now you have a good selection to choose from Fiona 😂😂😂
Thank you very much for this beautiful and informative overview! 👏 I love the beaches in the Algarve, however, most of the times the water of the Atlantic is somewhat too cold for me so that I need to escape to the Mediterranean Sea during the summer 😅
Simply love you videos and the whole approach you have to doing them and promoting the activities you surely love. They do have a negative effect on me thou, as i feel sad im still uphere in the cold north,, but it will change, hopefully sooner than later. Maybe i get lucky to meet you one day :-)
Great information as always Nick! My first trip to Portugal is scheduled for June. Starting off with a few days in Lisbon then a road trip to Porto de Mos for a few days.
Not directly related, but I’ll be in PT in October. 12 days. Lisbon, porto, then maybe 5 days in the Algarve. Since I’ll want to visit several areas, would it be best to rent a car to visit diff areas? Or just check in somewhere in the middle and use public transport to visit other areas?
I born In Entroncamento not far from Fatima Shrine, Raised in Porto and now I live in Canada Toronto, Gosh how I miss Portugal, and miss so much of my holidays in Algarve, I use to go every year with my friends to Albufeira. such a great vibe not only about the beach but also about the night life. Algarve has it all. Expecting to return this Summer to Portugal after 4 years away because of Covid. Thanks so much for that amazing video Nick.
@@AlgarveAddicts Thanks Nick! We’ll be there is June to see if we should add the Algarve to our list of moving destinations. Your videos have been a great help in the decision process.
Great video. Gonna be in Tavira at the beginning of April. Hopefully i will be able to do some wateractivities. Wanna try Stand up paddeling. Looks like a lot of fun.
It sure is! Fantastic beach too.
Great video Nick!! I miss the weather paddle boarding and everything 😁
I miss summer too!!! Although at least I can still paddle in winter down here ☺️
That is simply amazing. What a beautiful area of the world. I've never experienced beaches like that. I'm looking forward to visiting. Hopefully this year.
I did find it strange that the 2 people on the boat were still wearing their mask.
me too, really ,masks on a boat, how crazy is that
Crazy, yep, but "rules is rules".
Wich beach in Algarve has the most calm water..? And more clear sand..? 🏝🏖🌅
Hi Jena, I suggest you have a look on the eastern side of the Algarve (near Vila Real de Santo Antônio).
Hey Nick who would you recommend for sup boarding in the Algarve , would like to give it a go before maybe getting a board . kind regards .
Where abouts are you, Charlie? I recommend www.supalbufeira.com/en They're a great bunch of guys.
Dude, I like your videos but why do you feel the need to play music that is twice as loud as your narration?
Technically it's not twice as loud but I'll pay closer attention to that. Cheers for the criticism.

Thanks for watching John, I'll have a think about that one. Theres a lot of info out there on it already.

hey Nick - love your videos man - thanks for making the time to put these together, they're great!
+1 for a paddle boarding video... 👍
You're welcome Phil, glad you're enjoying them 🤙🏼
Hi, I'm curious about the weather in the different regions of the algarve. Is it similar all along there? Are certain portions warmer? Rainier?
It is fairly similar all along however it tends to be a bit cooler and windier in the west. Naturally the further you go away from the ocean you'll get slightly higher and lower temperatures i.e. more variation away from the moderating influence of the ocean. .
Please give more info on what things cost. Anytime you have a drink tell us what it cost. What’s a kayak daily rental. Show some menus of restaurants etc.
Ok, will do, but there are a ton of people out there doing cost of living videos.
Hi Nick, you have awesoime drone footage in your videos! Could you point me in the right direction to get a drone "license""

Well, you can go as far as you want. I once did 264km on one trip. A mate of mine did 3000kms down the Ganges River :)
Utterly brilliant Nick. Accurate and beautifully filmed.

Wow, that "beach tour" footage looks like it's mid summer. What lovely clear blue skies. Another great video, nice one Nick!
Thanks Andrew! 👍🏼
Thank you very much for this beautiful and informative overview! 👏 I love the beaches in the Algarve, however, most of the times the water of the Atlantic is somewhat too cold for me so that I need to escape to the Mediterranean Sea during the summer 😅
Yes, it's probably about 20°C and up during summer which I easily got used to (coming from Cape Town where it was colder!).
@@AlgarveAddicts And I returned from Australia and Asia, so I feel really good when the water is around 24 degrees upwards...
Tough to find.
@@AlgarveAddicts Exactly, and that is why I am spending the summers in Mallorca where the ocean can go up to 27/28 degrees

Great information as always Nick! My first trip to Portugal is scheduled for June. Starting off with a few days in Lisbon then a road trip to Porto de Mos for a few days.
Great stuff, enjoy it Rick.
Nick you still need to do a video of yourself sky diving. LOL. They have a club here in Alvor.
Never! People die doing that stuff...

I'd suggest you rent a car. You'll have a lot more freedom.

what is absolutely frustrating about traveling in portugal and spain, is that dogs are not accepted nearly everywhere. not even toy dogs.
Different countries, different customs 🤷
How warm/cold is the water in the summer months?
Hi Julie, about 20-22°C
