Beaches

The Algarve beaches are as diverse as the regions along the Algarve coast. Around Lagos you will find wide sandy beaches with dunes. In and around Sagres and the Western Algarve and up the west coast as far as the Alentejo you will also find beautiful deserted beaches.

Here they are backed in spectacular fashion, by high cliffs and rock formations. There are always fresh breezes and the sea along these beaches is rough and impressive- the sound of the waves rolling in, the breeze, the sand and the countryside!

From Sagres eastwards there are beaches framed with red or yellow limestone cliffs up to 70m high which are much more romantic. In and around Lagos you will find the “picture book” beaches of Porto de Mós and Praia Dona Ana. East of Lagos the 7km long sandy beach Meia Praia backed by sand dunes. There are many other lesser known and barely discovered beaches with clear blue water well worth searching out.
