This is a tranquil, laid back town with some beautiful beaches surrounding it and  a picturesque harbour at Baleeira It also offers a very pretty square, Praça da República, and stunning views. It is very popular in summer with visitors, but all year round with fishermen and surfers because of the western Atlantic waters creating such good waves for surfing. Sagres has milder temperatures than other parts of the Algarve, with Atlantic winds keeping the summers cool.
