Favourite beaches are very subjective - everyone has their own personal favourite. Some opt for secluded, cove beaches; others love wide broad expanses of golden sands. For some the wild beauty of the Algarve’s western coast is unrivalled, while for others the luxurious pampering of a private beach club is their idea of heaven.
To help you find your favourite beach we have spent many hours researching (i.e. lazing about on) the Algarve’s numerous beaches. The information we have amassed will help you choose the beach that best suits your needs, whether you’re looking for family fun, ease of access, a romantic getaway, plenty of action or splendid isolation. Whatever your option, you can be assured of quality beaches. No less than 54 algarve beaches were awarded the prestigious Blue Flag this year for excellence in water quality, safety, environmental education and amagement.
