Carvoeiro and Benagil are in the boroughs of Lagoa and Portimão. The gently rolling hills and green character of this area and the villages with their sandy beaches are popular for older visitors. They seek both activity, relaxation, and rest. Facilities for the older visitor are good.

Portimão, for example, has a recently built path for the disabled that was recently constructed. The 6 km Rota Acessível de Portimão.
