Don't forget - bring your swimming cossies! Ok, yes, we admit it, you may not want to ruin your wedding-ready-hair or soak that shiny new suit but there are glorious swimming pools available - along with a fab beach and the ocean at the reception - should you want to mark the day with a dip.
Swimming in the Algarve is a fantastic experience - shelves are sandy and the sea is very clean although temperatures can be parkier than those you may be used to in the central Mediterranean. Do bear in mind, however, that currents can sometimes be strong. Even if you are an experienced open water swimmer, please check the flags and tell someone if you're off for a plunge. Swell can get big on occasion, too, particularly towards and along the glorious western coast. It's not for nothing that THIS happened in Portugal! (How on EARTH did he make it out of that wave btw?! Alright, alright geography sticklers, this was quite a way up the coast but still!
On the plus side, smaller waves make for brilliant bodysurfing conditions AND they're guaranteed to clear out any hangover.
