Lisbon to the Algarve, slow and sandy
Day 1
Overnight: Lisbon camping park
Morning
Collect the campervan near the airport; quick stock-up at a supermarket on the way.
Afternoon
Tram 28 ride and pastéis de nata in Belém — short walking legs for small feet.
Evening
Early dinner at the campsite; set up beds while kids explore the playground.
Pack a 'first night' bag so pyjamas and nightlights are within reach.
Day 2
Overnight: Comporta
Morning
Drive south via the Setúbal ferry — kids love spotting dolphins on the crossing.
Afternoon
Long, shallow Comporta beach; boardwalks are stroller-friendly.
Evening
Stork-spotting on the rice paddies at sunset.
Ferry runs roughly hourly; arrive 20 minutes early in summer.
Day 3
Overnight: Vila Nova de Milfontes
Morning
Slow start, then a coastal drive with a playground stop in Sines.
Afternoon
Calm Mira river beach — no waves, warm water, perfect for a 4-year-old.
Evening
Grilled fish at a family taverna in town.
Tide pools at Praia do Malhão are best at low tide — check times the day before.
Day 4
Overnight: Vila Nova de Milfontes
Morning
No driving today. Kayak rental on the river (child life jackets included).
Afternoon
Nap time in the van, then sandcastle competition.
Evening
Campfire-style dinner and stargazing.
Every third day is a no-drive day to keep moods sunny.
Day 5
Overnight: Sagres
Morning
Drive the Rota Vicentina coast; snack stop at Aljezur market.
Afternoon
Cabo de São Vicente lighthouse and the 'end of the world' viewpoint.
Evening
Sunset picnic on the cliffs — keep little ones well back from edges.
It gets windy here: pack a layer even in August.
Day 6
Overnight: Lagos
Morning
Family boat trip to the Ponta da Piedade grottoes (book the 9 am calm-water slot).
Afternoon
Praia de Dona Ana — sheltered, shallow and close to the car park.

Wander the old town for ice cream.
Choose bigger boats with shade for under-5s.
Day 7
Overnight: Tavira
