In addition, many of these beaches have parasols and sunshades for rent to bathers looking for shade. Depending on the beach and the concessionaire, the daily price of sunshades and sunshades can range from €14 to €50.

If you want to spend your day at the beach in the comfort of a sun lounger, in the shade of a parasol, and without spending a lot of money, Monte Gordo Beach is one of the cheapest in the Algarve for renting “parasols”. In the concession area UB4, which belongs to the Hotel Navegadores, you can rent a white “parasol” with two chairs or beds for 18 euros per day, according to Postal.

At the same concessionaire, you can also rent a canvas awning, with two beds or chairs included, for 14 euros per day. This is a more economical option since these awnings are further away from the waterline. In Monte Gordo, it is also possible to rent a sunshade for just half a day, and in this case, the price is slightly lower than the price for the whole day.

As you head towards Sagres, you will find beaches where renting sunshades is more expensive than in Monte Gordo. At Praia da Barreta (Deserta Island), for example, a day with a sunshade with two loungers costs 25 euros. However, this beach has a special feature, as bathers are not obliged to rent a complete set. You can reserve just one lounger or just one sunshade, and you must book in advance on the Animaris website.

In the municipality of Loulé, the concessionaire at Praia do Ancão rents a set of one sunshade with two chairs for 30 euros. It is worth noting that Vilamoura Beach is one of the most expensive in the Algarve for renting a sunshade. At the Purobeach Vilamoura concession, an awning in the back row can cost up to 40 euros, while a “parasol” in the front row can cost up to 50 euros.
