SPORTS

A paradise for fishermen, surfers, divers and windsurfers - and the whole Algarve is a golfer's paradise, including the far West.

Fishing The whole of the north coast of São Vicente ( St. Vincent ) is a huge fishing ground. Every rock, every cove has its own particular fans, fishermen who return to the same spot time and time again.
Surf Surfers too, appreciate the regular waves of the north coast, the safety of its broad beaches and total freedom of the ocean.
Diving The broad inlet defined by Ponta de Sagres and Cabo de São Vicente and beyond is an excellent place for scuba divers to appreciate the colourful diversity of schools of fish and the dream-like landscapes of caves and hollows carved from beneath the cliffs. All this can be enjoyed with the help of the local PADI diving centre.
Windsurfing Summer winds are a dream come true at Martinhal beach. Consistent winds and clear blue water make this one of the best windsurfing spots in Europe.
Golf
The golf resort of Parque da Floresta
Golf can be played at the nearby Parque da Floresta golf course, which boasts a marvellous 18 hole championship course. The golf course is situated 10 Km from Sagres, near Budens.
