Beaches Algarve

More than 300 days of Sunshine per Year!
With 200 km shoreline and more than 300 days of sunshine per year the Algarve has become the number one holiday region of Portugal and one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. Extremely clear water, spectacular cliffs with hidden creeks, endless sand beaches, protected by dunes and a mild Atlantic breeze make this place so special.

Alvor beach Algarve

Blue flag beaches

Sun and sea with quality and in safety.

With the highest number of beaches attaining the distinction of the Blue Flag, the Algarve has collected almost 50 of these awards, increasing year-on-year, confirming the region’s commitment to quality tourism.

This award is given out annually to beaches and leisure resorts which fulfill the comprehensive set of criteria set out by the European Foundation for Environmental Education. The criteria are based on the following standards: Environmental management, safety and amenities, and in the case of beaches, water quality.

With respect to leisure resorts, the award goes further, with the inclusion of management and environmental education and information. The Algarve has also been successful in this area, with its marinas achieving this mark of quality.

Blue or Gold flags make the 3000 hours of sun a year and the 200km of coastline with unspoilt landscapes and dream beaches even more appealing because they can be enjoyed in total safety. Enjoy them!

The space and flexibility you can enjoy if you spend your holiday in one of the many Algarve villas that are available for rent will make it that much more special.This part of Portugal is in the southern most region of the country and has a wonderfully mild climate all year round. The coastline also happens to be one of the most beautiful in Europe. Portugal is a wonderful, safe place for the whole family to stay, and at a price that will not break the bank.

With mile upon mile of uncrowded, sandy beaches, the Algarve has a superb year-round climate. Pretty coastal towns and villages boast old churches and bustling markets, pavement cafes serving excellent snacks, and fishing boats on the beach. The Algarve in Portugal boasts an average 320 days of sunshine a year, gentle breezes coming off the Atlantic, and a laid-back lifestyle that you thought had monchique algarve vanished.

Portugal’s coastline boasts some of Europe’s best beaches. There’s variety too, with a choice of superb surfing beaches facing the Atlantic full on, or sheltered family holiday beaches on the Algarve with full resort facilities close to hand.

Portugal’s Algarve beaches are renowned for their blue flag status and beauty. To the west Algarve the dramatic rock formations add character, whilst on the east Algarve coast beaches are influenced by estuaries and are flatter and more sheltered.

Algarve Beaches

A record number of beaches in the region will be flying the Blue Flag this summer.

Some 69 Blue Flag beaches have been named in the Algarve, 15 more than in 2009 and the highest ever in the Algarve.

Lagos, Portimão, Albufeira and Vilamoura marinas will also be flying the flag.

The Blue Flag is awarded to beaches that meet the exacting criteria regarding water quality, environmental management and education, safety, cleanliness and facilities. Many beaches along the Algarve are manned by life-guards during the summer season. You should always pay attention to the indications given by the life-guards and follow the indications of the color coded flags posted on the beaches.

Green: swimming permitted

Yellow: Swimming forbidden

Red: Swimming & entering water forbidden

Blue/White: Beach temporarily unattended

One of Algarve's safe beaches
