Algarve Beaches

Algarve is a beautiful region located in Portugal, known for its stunning beaches and picturesque landscapes.

Praia de Benagil is a stunning beach situated a mere 15-minute drive from the city center of Carvoeiro. Its most striking feature is the nearby Algar de Benagil cave, which features a large circular hole in its ceiling, allowing for an awe-inspiring view as sunlight streams in. Praia Barranco das Belharucas is located approximately 5 kilometers east of Albufeira and derives its name from the little European bee-eater birds that nest in the cliff side, creating a unique wilderness experience. Praia Do Carvalho was previously accessible solely by boat due to its secluded location, but this inaccessibility was resolved by excavating a tunnel within the surrounding cliff. Praia Dona Ana is a charming beach located in Lagos, with a stunning backdrop of warm colored cliffs that provide a beautiful contrast to the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Lastly, Praia Marinha is located on the southern coast of Portugal, near the city of Carvoeiro, and one of the main attractions of this beach is cliff diving, which is made possible by the surrounding landscape.
