The climate in the Algarve is mild through out winter months and spring .From March/April it gets warmer in the evenings and temperatures reach up to 30 degrees during the day. High summer can reach up to 40-45 degrees.

Beaches in the Eastern Algarve are wide, sandy and safe for children, with the EC Blue Flag for cleanliness. They belong to the nature reserve 'Ria Formosa' and are renowned for their wildlife, dunes and riverlife.The nearest beaches from Quintamar are about 1.5km . They are reached by foot, small ferry boat or by a little train.
Barril beach and Santa Luzia beach are the closest and accessed either by foot via country lanes, small train or by a boat service. Both can be reached within about 15 minutes walk.

Tavira Island has a good selection of restaurants and bars plus a camping ground and is more active in the high season, there is a constant boat service. Refreshments and meals, sun-beds and parasols, are available on most beaches.
Daytime entertainment for children can be found in the large water parks on the otherside of Faro, which run most of the year due to the good climate.
The Spanish border is only a twenty minutes drive from Quintamar, and historic Seville is 2 hours drive and, with its ancient palaces, cathedrals and riverside parks and cafes, is well worth a visit.
