Boats, Coasts and Riviera Fashion

Beautiful yachts in Lagos Marina. February 2012

Recently we have had the time to explore our beautiful location and have seen a lot of beautiful boats. The Algarve boasts an incredible coastline for sailing and motor boating and my camera has been busy! With the arrival in Dunas Resort of the new summer swim and resort wear collections a Riviera theme seems appropriate!

Perfect boating bikinis from Heidi Klein in true Riviera stripes.

The Algarve Coastline is a sailors dream with numerous sheltered coves, a steady on shore wind and of course endless sunshine!




For motor yachts there are calm anchorages in the Ria Formosa inland waterways at Faro and Tavira and the chance to see pods of dolphins out at sea.
