Hi Hope someone can help me, we are travel over soon for a holiday and I am trying to work out a cheaper option to paying for beach sunbeds and parasols. (4 in party) can anyone help with an approximate cost for a beach parasol? Thanks :-) |

The cost of a sunbed + parasol is in the range 10 Euro to 15 Euro per bed per day. You can buy decent parasols from upwards of about 12 Euro each. ------------- I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa. |

Beach sunbed prices vary slightly depending on where you are. We paid 15 Euros for two beds and a fixed parasol on the beach near the lift; the same at Gale beach but that also included a wind break; or 12 Euros for two beds & parasol near Inatel. Prices do reduce later in the day but there are no half day offers. Certainly cheaper to buy a parasol and lie on a towel but it depends on your preference.  ------------- Colin |

I bought an adequate beach parasol at the Continente/Modelo (by the Brisa Sol) for 8 euros last month (special offer) then left it behind in the villa at the end of our stay. Wasteful but seemed the cheapest/best option, it wouldn't fit in our largest suitcase and I could imagine the delight of EasyJet as they charged us some huge premium for flying it back. I bought one a few years ago from the lady selling them near the green-tiled house - 15 Euros for that one.

Michele - if you bought sunbeds, how would you cart them down to the beach and back? ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

| LOL no, I was trying to get a comparison, so that we could make an informed decision. But we're going for the purchase of beach parasols and laying on towels on the sand |

Should you have the misfortune to plonk your backside down on a sunbed at the Pine Cliffs on Falesia Beach, and you're not staying there, it will cost you 150 (yes that one hundred and fifty) Euro per day. ------------- I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God.

| Ouch No way - the sand will be quite ok for us lol. Now all I need to do is find a launderette that pretty close to the Acqua Maris Balaia hotel. For the necessary mid two week holiday clean clothes session |
