The name of the resort town Jardim do Mar in Portugal literally translates as “Garden by the Sea”. On its territory are the pebbly beaches of Portinho, Enseada and Vigia, washed by the clear Atlantic waters. Tourists are greeted by steep cliffs, bright wildflowers, grape and banana plantations.

Beach description
The beach complex does not provide amenities and lifeguard services for vacationers. Only Portinho is a welcome exception with a bar and shower. Until recently, access to the beaches was possible exclusively by sea.

Lacking a developed infrastructure, Jardim do Mar attracts most visitors with its isolation and fabulous landscapes. And the 8-meter waves made it the center of attraction for surfers and bodyboarders. This place is famous for hosting various competitions, including the 2001 World Surfing Championships.

When is the best time to go
The beach season in Portugal lasts from early June to September, when the air temperature reaches + 30 ° C, and the water - + 19 ° C. It should be remembered that the Atlantic Ocean warms up poorly and cools quickly; lovers of a more comfortable water temperature can swim in natural stone pools, of which there are quite a few on the coast.
