Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or hunting for treasures on the shore, Vau Beach is the perfect place to spend time with the family. Why not put a picnic basket together and make a day of it?

Located in Portimão, this stretch of coastline is well worth a look. But you'll find a great deal more to see and do in this area. Rocha Beach, Carvoeiro Beach, and Slide and Splash Water Park aren't too far away from Vau Beach.
