Yes, their water is usually very cold.

But the beauty of the

beaches of the Algarve

is such that they make you forget any change in temperature suffered by the bather's body.

That is why they always appear in the lists of the most beautiful beaches not only in Europe, but in the world.

There are

more than a hundred

and in them, apart from an unforgettable dip, you can enjoy dream beach bars, spectacular cliffs, succulent cuisine and coastal towns with a special charm.

Praia dos Pescadores

Located in the central area of ​​a wide stretch of sand that stretches across

Albufeira

, it attracts all kinds of tourists during all four seasons.

Its waves are perfect for surfers and its proximity to the city gives it a special attraction, allowing you to enjoy a succulent bite from its tiled taverns between dips.

At its eastern end, colorful fishing boats

are lined up,

giving it a special touch much appreciated by professional and amateur photographers.

Dona Ana Beach

Located south of

Lagos

, between the limestone cliffs of the

Ponta da Piedade

cape , it is sheltered by boulders that jut out into the sea, creating a spectacular landscape.

The rocks provide calmness to the tide, which makes it a perfect place to

practice diving

and enjoy its abundant marine fauna.

Albandeira Beach

Two small coves are connected by a crack between the rocks:

an arch

at the end of one of those typical Algarve cliffs that give the landscape a special touch.

Many describe the huge cave as a giant jaw that opens its jaws on the sand.

Diving friends will be able to enjoy a

multitude of underwater crevasses

while hikers will be able to get lost among the pine and eucalyptus trees in the area.

Benagil Beach

Benagil is a small fishing village with a beach of the same name where the enormous

Agar de Benagil

cave , also known as

La Catedral

, stands out for its large natural skylight.

This natural wonder does not have direct access from land, so you have to do it by sea through a short excursion. It has various departures throughout the day.

To do it, a small boat is used with which, if conditions allow, you can enter the cave, take a quick swim and take photos that will be the envy of all contacts on social networks.

Camilo Beach

There are 200 steps

that separate bathers from the perfect cove: a small golden sandbank with a turquoise sea less than two kilometers south of

Lagos

.

Its rugged geography forms a

natural amphitheater

that guarantees the absence of wind, which makes this beach an ideal place to get lost with a good book and sunbathe without fear of getting steamed.

And when the beach is too small in summer, it is possible to go to the next beach,

Praia da Boneca

, following a small path that emerges at low tide.
