Camping and tides in Portugal

Atlantic swell meets a 2 to 3.5 m tide along the Algarve and Alentejo: sea caves and beaches between the cliffs are reachable only around low water, and the tide pages here are modelled from satellite data (EOT20), not official predictions. Wild camping is not allowed; use campsites. All Portugal regions.
