A Sardinha restaurant provides tender service to pick up and drop off guests on their yacht, operated by a local. Don’t forget to tip!
Before you book, check in with the charter company and have a quick word with the skipper on the day. Sometimes the sea is too rough to land. The folks at A Sardinha Restaurant can also let you know if it’s a go or not.
If you are on a “bareboat” and unfamiliar with the area, ask the restaurant to pick you up and drop you off. Don’t risk your safety or the boat’s. The approach is difficult due to rocks and stones; don’t take risks if you don’t know the area.
A Sardinha Restaurant is located on the stunning “Praia dos Arrifes”, a small and sheltered cove just west of Albufeira. Framed by low cliffs and striking rock formations, this beach offers calm, crystal-clear waters — ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing away from the wind.
Arrifes Beach, also known as “Três Penecos,” is one of the Algarve’s most iconic and photogenic spots, loved for its unique rock stacks and peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere.
For those arriving by land, access is via a rustic dirt parking area followed by a wooden staircase down to the beach. But the real experience is arriving by sea.
Guests coming by yacht or boat can anchor nearby and enjoy a convenient dinghy pick-up service arranged with the restaurant, making it an excellent stop for a relaxed lunch on the coast.
Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or planning a stop during your cruise, A Sardinha is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Algarve cuisine with breathtaking panoramic views over the bay.
