Nestled between two towering cliffs, this beach boasts a serene atmosphere as the waves gently lap at the shore. However, those with mobility concerns may find it challenging to access, as the descent to the beach requires navigating a series of steps, including a cave entrance. Despite this, the beach remains a popular destination for kayakers and those seeking to explore the nearby caves by boat. Keep in mind that there are no services available on the beach, and entry is through a resort complex. Luckily, parking is plentiful in the surrounding area.

This location in the Algarve is easily accessible and is my favorite. In my opinion, it surpasses Praia da Marinha due to the absence of brown seaweed and the clarity and beauty of the water.

This spot is absolutely stunning and offers breathtaking views. It's perfect for those who enjoy cliff diving as there are multiple heights to jump from. However, it can get quite crowded, so it's best to come early or later in the day. The beach is also easily accessible.
