Burgau.jpg

Burgau

Left from the main road or cliff road from Praia da Luz.  Parking and turning is not easy.  It is best to leave your car at the entrance of the village.  It is a fishing port, so the beach is cut in to two by a  boat launching ramp.  Sandy, quiet surf, narrow and 300m long

Praia da Luz.jpg

Meio Praia

Directly out (east) from Lagos or any turn off from Odeaxere to Lagos Bridge.  Plenty of parking.  One of the longest stretches of beach in the Algarve,  Medium-wide with dunes, good surfing but take care with children as the currents can be quite strong.

Praia do alvor.jpg

Praia do Alvor

Either through Alvor Village or just outside Portimão follow the “Praia da Rocha” sign and then follow the “Alvor & Torralta” signs.  Long sandy stretch, which is a continuation of Meia Praia, separated by an estuary.  At the Portimao end is small cove of the “Tres Irmãos”.  The beach is quite wide and sandy with safe surf.  There is now a nice wooden walkway to the  south west of the town.

Praia da Rocha

Well sign posted on Portimão.  Good parking with steps and ramp onto the beach.  Can get crowded, but the beach is long and wide and can take it.  Lots of activities for children and mild surf.  Paths around the cliffs separating the long eastern stretch from smaller coves and some tunnels

Praia Grande Ferragudo.jpg

Praia Grande, Ferragudo

This a long beach within the harbour walls which makes it much safer for young children.  There are a number of beach bars and also watersports.  You can learn to windsurf here.  The beach bar on the main steps down is well known for its great views and food.

Praia de Molhe.jpg

Praia de Molhe

Follow the coastal road from Ferragudo to Carvoeiro and signposts to Pintadinho, then you will see at the end Praia de Molhe.  There are about 151 steps down, with two beaches.  The left is open sea and popular with surfers.  To the right is inside the harbour walls and much calmer.  This is a favourite place for me to go and walk the Molhe (jetty) and take photos, especially at sunset.
