Local Area:
The house lies in the village of Pera which is on the road that stretches the length of the Algarve.
Visitors to Jardins de Perâ have numerous sandy beaches to choose from the nearest being Praia Grande is approximately 2 kms. away. The most well known is Gale, a long sandy beach stretching for 5 km along the coast and offering water sports and selection of superb beach bars / fish restaurants. Smaller cove beaches include Sao Rafael with its amazing rocks free standing in the sand, and Castello, home to some odd shaped cliffs, grottoes and blow holes.
This long sandy coastline from Armação de Pera to Gale is just as popular for walkers with the Lagoa dos Salgados estuary, a haven for wildlife and a popular destination for flamingos.
Golf:
The nearest golf course is Salgados The 6,000 metre links course, complete with water obstacles, is not very long, yet you will need all your skills to reach the greens.
