Wow. I had no idea how beautiful the Algarve was until we arrived. These soft beaches surrounded by the sand and limestone cliffs were absolutely breathtaking. We arrived in the off-season, which probably means it was much quieter than in the summer! The beaches were pristine and just so stunningly beautiful. What an incredible place to adventure.

Wow. This beach exceeded expectations. Walked it for about 2 km and loved every part of it. Dramatic waves and beautiful cliffs. Easily accessible and there's a viewpoint after about 1km where you can watch the sunset over the cliffs.

The most famous beach in the Algarve, the most chic and trendy and the busiest as well ... This large beach, bordered by imposing ochre and red cliffs, carved out by caves, is a favorite destination for Germans and English tourists. Unfortunately, the seafront buildings overlook these same cliffs and somewhat spoil our enjoyment!

Festivals, parties, and DJs in season delight a young, cosmopolitan crowd. Restaurants spread along the new wooden walkway, aimed at tourists. Whether you like this setting or not, the atmosphere is there. You can always take a stroll along the beaches, from Praia da Rocha to Praia da Vau, passing by Praia dos Três Castelos at low tide ...

Beautiful beach with clear water and stunning cliffs. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. A must-visit in Portimão!
One of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal!

Long and wide sandy beach, there are sunbeds with umbrellas for 16 euros for two. Gentle entry into the ocean, a paradise for children, there are also water activities such as catamarans, jet skis, etc.
