Handpicked by a Algarve Local Expert, we bring you our guide to 'Best Beach Restaurants for Rainy Days'.
The Algarve is famous for its sunshine, but there’s something special about the coastline on a stormy day. The waves crash against the shore, the sea takes on dramatic shades of blue and grey, and the wild beauty of the Atlantic unfolds before your eyes. And the best part? You can experience it all from the comfort of a beachfront restaurant with indoor seating, tucked behind panoramic ocean-view windows.
Whether you're looking for a seafood lunch with ocean views, a cozy coffee spot by the beach, or a romantic dinner watching the waves roll in, these Algarve beach restaurants offer all the scenery with none of the wind and rain. Here’s where to go when the weather turns wild, but you still want to enjoy the magic of dining by the sea.
