# Beach Wedding Algarve: Venues, Access and Plan B

Source: https://www.lovebirdsweddings.com/styles/beach/

For a beach wedding Algarve couples should separate a ceremony on the sand from a reception beside it. The current shortlist includes 25 beach-tagged venues, but some tags refer to access, a view or an off-site location; check permission, dinner space and an indoor alternative before choosing a setting for 60 guests.

## Questions and answers

### Can the public still use the beach?

Do not assume private use. Ask the authority and venue what the permission covers and how the event area will operate.

### Is a beach-view hotel a beach ceremony venue?

Those are separate features. Confirm whether the ceremony is on sand, on hotel grounds or at another location.

### What should we check for older guests?

Ask for the complete access route and somewhere to sit before the ceremony. Confirm the toilet location and return transport as part of that route.
