At the moment the sport of Lawn Bowling in Portugal is only played in the
Algarve. Lawn bowling is a perfect recreation for the warm Algarve climate
as it permits the players to bowl all through the year. Perhaps the one
exception to this is during the peak of the summer when the best place is
sitting on a sandy beach or in the shade! The sport is rapidly increasing
in popularity with several active clubs and several others are planned to
open. To this date there has been no Crown greens constructed on which to
play.
As a bowling destination the Algarve is proving very successful. The
suitability of the climate together with many tourist sporting facilities
of the Algarve are attracting an ever increasing number of visiting Bowling
Clubs from the UK and elsewhere. Also, it is not unusual to find small
groups of visiting bowlers from as far away as Australia, Canada and South
Africa. All the Clubs welcome visitors or visiting Clubs, and normally
these guests can take part in any local competition or just play the green.
Clubs stock a full range of bowls for hire at a nominal charge.
