The Algarve coast, located in southern Portugal, is a paradise for beach lovers and surfers. You will fall in love the moment you arrive and will be mesmerized by its beautiful rock formations, colors, and gorgeous sunsets.
This is one of our favorite beaches. Tucked away in Portimão, you'll find this beach with dramatic rock formations, pure golden sand, and clear blue water.
•When to visit: The golden hours are the best time, and just make sure to go when the tide is low.
The most popular and visited beach, but for a good reason! It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Algarve. There are plenty of other small beaches you can swim in the area, cool rock formations with explorable caves and tunnels. Walk a few kilometers along the marked trail towards Benagil to enjoy the view of this spectacular beach to the fullest.
One of my favorite beaches in the Algarve, possibly even the world. The contrast between the orange cliffs, the ocean, and the green trees is mesmerizing.
•After you enjoy the beach don't forget to go to the top of the cliffs for a spectacular view.
It is a horseshoe-shaped beach surrounded by sandstone cliffs. Its golden sand looking at the Ocean on one side & boats, restaurants & whitewashed Mediterranean houses on the other side make it one of the Algarve's best beaches.
It's a very small beach but a hidden gem. This beach has golden sand, great views, and a restaurant (with bathrooms) called Rei dos Praias with a rooftop
This beach has a stunning rock formation in the shape of an arch. There are plenty of cool caves nearby that you can explore. The beach is so quiet and secluded.
Once you park, you'll find a path with many steps that leads to a small platform in the ocean where you can rent a boat and explore caves. Walking down, you'll enjoy the beautiful view and natural arches. Take into consideration that if you come mid-day it gets very crowded and it isn't as magical.
This beach has golden sand and many beautiful shells. It is best to come for sunrise.
a very scenic beach, but quite narrow, so it gets busy very quickly. You can access 2 other small beaches from there. Before you go down to the beach, you can enjoy the view from above. It is stunning.
This is one of Lagos’s most photographed beaches due to the famous Roman Bridge, which linked the mainland with Pinhao Fortress. It's called the Student beach because it’s a small beach that can fit a class of students
