One of the reasons I love Portugal🇵🇹
The beach season officially starts in June.
That’s when lifeguards are supposed to be on duty.
But Portugal doesn’t wait.
They already know the beaches will get crowded. They predict it. They prepare for it.So even before the season starts, you’ll see lifeguards on the beach, watching over everyone.
Because here, safety isn’t a reaction.
It’s a priority.
And here’s something most people don’t know:
Many lifeguards are actually supported by nearby beach restaurants-the same ones renting sunbeds.
For me, that says everything.
That’s not just organization. That’s care. That’s Portugal.
And honestly… that’s how I know summer is coming ☀️
