For many people September is the most beautiful month to visit the Algarve. Summer is still in full swing, but the big crowds of July and August have gone. The beaches get quieter and prices are often a little lower.
The weather in September
In September it averages around 27 degrees during the day. It is sunny and there is little rain. The evenings are still warm enough to eat outside.
The sea is at its warmest
After a whole summer of sunshine, the sea is at its warmest in September, averaging around 21 degrees. Perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
Quieter than in summer
As soon as schools across Europe start again, it gets much quieter. You find a spot on the beach more easily, parking is simpler and you need to book restaurants less often.
What to do in September?
- Head to the beach, for example the beaches near Ferragudo.
- A walk over the cliffs, now that it is a little less hot.
- Golf: after the summer heat the courses become popular again.
- A boat trip along the caves or in search of dolphins.
Who is September ideal for?
September is ideal for couples, families with young children who don’t go to school yet and groups of friends looking for sunshine without the crowds. Golfers like to come in September too.
