Quinta Pequina is approx 10 mins (walking) to the nearest beach of Centianes (with its own informal beach restaurant) and Albandeira, Marinha and Benagil are within 10 minutes drive. Larger beaches at Gale, Praia de Luz and Praia Grande at Feragudo offer water sports facilities.
Golf
The Algarve is particularly well served with superb golf courses and Clube Golfemar is the perfect venue for the Algarve golfer. Guests at Quinta Pequina will be spoilt for choice with easily reached championship courses to suit all abilities nearby. These include Penina, Vale do Lobo, Alto, Palmares, Pinta and Gramacho. All within half an hour's drive. Details of these courses and others can be found in the villa's comprehensive Visitor's Information File.
For those who don't want to play 18 holes, the pretty Val de Milho 9 hole golf club is adjacent to Club Golfemar and offers a challenging round to any golfer yet is ideal for those who are just starting out - young and old! The friendly club house welcomes visitors and serves good food every day of the week throughout the year. Guests at Quinta Pequina are entitled to discounts at Vale de Milho.

Distances
2.5 kms to Carvoeiro with its many bars and restaurants and local music evenings in the town square. 20 minutes drive to the historical town of Silves with its castle and ancient town walls. Cape St Vincent and the fort at Sagres is the most westerly point of Continental Europe and is well worth a visit.
