Before you go
When is the best time to visit the river beaches?
The river bathing season usually runs from June to September. July and August have the warmest water, but June and September are less crowded — check the temperature on each beach page.
How much does it cost to rent a holiday home in Portugal?
Prices range from €50/night inland to €200+ on the Algarve coast in high season. Booking 2–3 months ahead usually secures the best rates.
Is the river-beach data official?
Yes — we use official public sources: the Portuguese Environment Agency (water quality), the Blue Flag programme and updated weather data.
