Fishing in the Algarve from a boat or beach

Fishing in the Algarve from a boat or beach. Of course, you can go sea fishing in the Algarve by boat. A wonderful experience with a good chance of spotting dolphins at the same time. For fishing on the open sea, you do not need a separate Fishing Licence Algarve. However, if you go fishing from one of the Algarve’s beaches, from the rugged rocky coasts, or from harbour points of e.g. Portimao, so very close to our flat Vila Arade, a fishing license is required, just like in the U.K. This is nowadays completely digitised and no longer available in paper form. Registration and control take place via the DGRM database.
