These months might seem like an unusual choice, but&#8230; <strong>The cooler, yet pleasantly sunny weather is ideal for leisurely strolls along the Ria Formosa and enjoying local cafes without the crowds. \ud83e\udd2d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Of course, the summer months \u2013 July and August \u2013 are the most popular, as they are ideal for lounging by the sea and boat trips. Generally, the sea in Portugal is colder, so families with children usually don&#8217;t visit outside of peak season.  <\/p>\n\n<p>For those looking for something in between, April to June and then early autumn \u2013 September and early October \u2013 are ideal. The hardier ones might even take a dip. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portugalbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/best-time-to-visit-olhao.jpg\" alt=\"When to visit Olh&#xE3;o?

When the waves of Atlantis were swallowed by the sea, Arraul was rescued by a whale that spat him back onto the shore.
