About a 25-minute walk from Lagos is the well-known Praia de Dona Ana; it’s the most famous beach in the area and is fully deserving of that title. It’s protected by rocks, so it boasts calm waters.
It’s one of the most famous beaches in the country thanks to its green, clean waters. Another great attraction is the cliffs that surround it. However, what really makes Praia da Marinha unique are the two natural arches created over time and the force of the sea.
It’s not a well-known beach but you will surely fall in love with it. It’s a small cove surrounded by stones and grottoes that turn into paths to other sandy areas in the vicinity. It’s very sheltered and its waters have a unique color.
Located on the island of Tavira, to the south of the namesake city, is this extensive sandy area notable for the ancient anchors found in its dunes. These details create a unique landscape.
It’s a very busy beach but worth a visit: it could be a picture postcard. It has an arch that joins the top of the two crags that border the beach. A must-visit so you can enjoy this visual spectacle.
It’s one of the most beautiful and spectacular beaches along these coasts. This is because it is home to the famous Benagil cave. It’s quite a touristy spot, but it has a very pleasant atmosphere. Here you’ll find additional activities such as a boat tour to discover the grotto.
This sandy area is notable for being over 500 meters long and for being one of the destinations chosen by surf lovers. Protected from northerly winds thanks to a large rock, surfers have made this a place of pilgrimage for lovers of this sport.
A beach that’s worth a visit at low tide to enjoy the Albandeira Arch, it’s small but you’ll fall in love with the landscape.
The above are the main beaches in the Algarve but the region has many others that are worth a day in the sun, enjoying the sand and the water. Discover beaches like Balança, which is difficult to access, or Carvalho, which is accessed through a tunnel. Now that you know about the best beaches in the Algarve, choose yours and have a great time!
