When you combine 100 miles of coastline with 300 days of sunshine per year, it’s easy to understand why the Algarve is a beach-lover’s paradise.
The following are just a few of the Algarve’s best beaches:
Praia dos Três Irmãos (Alvor)
Praia da Rocha (Portimão)
Praia da Falésia (Albufeira)
Meia Praia (Lagos)
Praia de Dona Ana (Lagos)
Praia da Figueira (Salema)
Praia da Marinha (Benagil-Lagao)

In 2011, the Foundation for Environmental Education awarded 69 of the Algarve’s beaches a “Blue Flag” for excellence in water quality, environmental management, safety, and services. For more information on Blue Flag, click here.
