What to expect

With the world's largest sand sculpture exhibition on your doorstep, a trip out here promises all kinds of sandy fun and games. The International Sand Sculpture Festival runs every year near Lagoa with mega sculptures, workshops, activities and more to enjoy and be in awe of.

There's nothing quite like it – 45,000 tonnes of sand, painstakingly sculpted into incredible artistic creations. Sculptors from all over the world come to take part and show off this different take on architecture. And with your ticket, you'll get to see it all and a few things more.

Once you've searched out a few sculptures, there are activities for kids, demonstrations and workshops on everything to do with sand sculpting. There's even a fish spa if you need to relax your feet, and a snack bar to replenish energy levels before your next sculpture hunt. What's more, if you go between June and mid-September, you can take it all in at night.

You'll sail on a boat that's decked out with a bar and a lounge, plus it has free Wi-Fi – perfect for uploading those pretty sunset pics to social media. But sunset isn't the only thing you'll get a good look at while you're out and about, since your sailing takes you past beaches, rock formations and hidden coves.
