Praia do Alemão and João d'Arens. The sea spot that represents Portimão.

This place is crazy beautiful. Rock formations, grotto, birds, fish, algae, small beaches… it’s a place you’ll love.

Where can I launch my stand up paddle?

What will I see and find at Praia do Alemão and João d'Arens?

Besides the natural beauty and near contact with the fishermen village of Alvor, there are beautiful bird species all around the place. after all, it is a natural reserve territory.

Where can I park my car there?

All around the launching spots you’ll find parking lots. Be aware that during summer the place is crowded.

Are there rules I have to follow, such as laws?

No. Be aware that after the sunset and before the sunrise, you should not be in the water for safety reasons.

Especially during the summer, when our waters become very crowded, you need to keep an eye on boats, jet skies and other boards and kayaks that may be on the water.

Do I need to wear a life jacket (vest)?

No. You are free to choose whether you want to use a life jacket or not.

All our rentals include a life jacket per user. It is not mandatory to wear it, but still, we will give you life jackets.

It’s up to you to use it or not.

Can I fish on the stand up paddle?

No. Our stand up paddles are only recreational.

Be aware that authorities do run surveillance and on sea inspections.

If you are fishing with an unregistered vessel, you will get fined and all the gear and paraphernalia will be confiscated.

So, if you are looking for some fishing experience, do not book with us.

Look up on Get Your Guide (an activities platform) or TripAdvisor and book with a provider for fishing experience.

My first time in the Algarve and I chose the city of Portimão. I wanted to do anything and everything! So I thought, I'm going to do SUP, why not? I contacted SUP Paddle Rental Algarve, everything went super chill and easy! I wanted to go to the beach but Pedro, the owner, convinced me to go to the river! See, that was the best thing I ever did! It was amazing! The quality of service is impeccable, the prices are really the best, you won't regret it! Imagine having your paddle gear delivered and picked up anywhere in Portimão? Yes, they do that too! I loved it, you don't have this everywhere, do you? I'll be back anyway. 5 stars for the service!

Great experience! You get a pre workout inflating the board but from then on is smooth sailing. The boards are big and steady, making it easy even for begginers like me 😂 it won't sabve you from falling tho 🤣
