The best time to visit Carvoeiro for mild temperatures and extended hours of sunshine is during the spring months, particularly May. August, however, offers the warmest sea temperatures and little rainfall, making it perfect for swimming and water sports. If you wish to avoid the summer crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) when the weather remains sunny and warm, but the town is quieter. Just remember to plan your family holiday around school breaks to avoid any inconvenience.
