What a concept - an elevated walkway that facilitates long walks on an elevated semi-even surface along the ocean and estuary. The elevated walkway also protects the delicate beach grasses and birds from unneeded and damaging traffic and pets. When not wanting to walk on the boardwalk, you cna easily exit onto the beach and walk along the surf line. Sublime experience.

We visited Alvor twice during our one week holiday, the first time by walking from Portimao. It’s a lovely place with good restaurants and the boardwalk experience was great for bird watching. Returned by car (free parking) before the end of our holiday to explore the town. It was our first holiday in The Algarve and we would certainly consider staying in Alvor next time.

Myself and my wife wandered down to Lagos and came across this wonderful walkway. We walked along the wooden walkway and stop for an ice cream at a café. We continued walking onto the beach and then left towards the harbour. What a fantastic idea the walkway was a credit to the local area.
