We didn&#8217;t expect to find such a vast expanse of sand and such beautiful beaches in this part of the Algarve.   <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We also found <strong>the seafront less concrete<\/strong> than in other Algarve villages.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with some of the region&#8217;s more urbanized resorts, such as Arma\u00e7\u00e3o de P\u00eara, where houses run directly along the beach.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A little linguistic point: the Portuguese word for beach is <strong>Praia<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#x1f3d6;&#xfe0f; The <strong>Praia de Alvor<\/strong> is Alvor&#8217;s main beach, with its clear sand and translucent water stretching for around 3km, there&#8217;s plenty of space for everyone, even in the height of summer. <strong>Praia da Torralta<\/strong> is a counterpart of Praia de Alvor. <br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#x1faa8; We recommend following the beach along the <strong>wooden footbridges to the east<\/strong> to reach <strong>Praia dos Tr\u00eas Irm\u00e3os<\/strong>, with its rock formations and crystal-clear waters typical of the Algarve. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapkadirect.fr\/index.php?action=produit&amp;id=809&amp;app=pourquoipasnous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>We were there at low tide, so we took the opportunity to wander between the rocks and discover some really cool little coves. <br\/><br\/>&#x1f305; We recommend going at <strong>sunset<\/strong> when the <strong>golden lights illuminate the rocks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#x1f17f;&#xfe0f; And the big plus: there&#8217;s ample free parking (noted on our map).<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the beaches in this region, but it has to be said: <strong>the water is cool<\/strong>, even in summer. It rarely exceeds <strong>18 degrees<\/strong>. Clearly, it took us a while to get into it completely. The first step is always the hardest. Fortunately, the air outside is quite warm, which makes it very pleasant to swim once inside.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f4a1; This contrast is an integral part of the

The Algarve coast is renowned for its caves, natural arches and cliffs sculpted by the ocean, and of course discovering them from the water completely changes the perspective. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x2764;&#xfe0f; &#x26f5; We chose to spend 3 hours exploring this area by <strong>boat <\/strong>and <strong>kayak, in a small group<\/strong> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.fr\/alvor-l2936\/alvor-exploration-des-grottes-en-bateau-et-en-kayak-t516436\/?partner_id=0LXQSML&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=alvor\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.fr\/alvor-l2936\/alvor-exploration-des-grottes-en-bateau-et-en-kayak-t516436\/?partner_id=0LXQSML&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=alvor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wooden Boat Tours<\/a>. The experience begins with a <strong>boat trip along the coast<\/strong>, taking you along the cliffs and into otherwise inaccessible areas.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once there, we embark by kayak (the distance to cover is short) to enter directly into the <strong>sea caves<\/strong>. The scenery is truly impressive, thanks to the play of light, the rock walls and the silence inside the caves. The pace is leisurely, accessible even to inexperienced kayakers, and the supervision is stress-free.  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f39f;&#xfe0f; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.fr\/alvor-l2936\/alvor-exploration-des-grottes-en-bateau-et-en-kayak-t516436\/?partner_id=0LXQSML&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=alvor\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.fr\/alvor-l2936\/alvor-exploration-des-grottes-en-bateau-et-en-kayak-t516436\/?partner_id=0LXQSML&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=alvor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Info and booking for a 3-hour cruise from Alvor<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/availability.frame\" data-gyg-tour-id=\"516436\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"fr-FR\" data-gyg-currency=\"EUR\" data-gyg-widget=\"availability\" data-gyg-variant=\"horizontal\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"0LXQSML\" data-gyg-cmp=\"alvor\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ria_de_Alvor_a_natural_interlude\"><\/span>The Ria de Alvor: a natural interlude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Ria de Alvor<\/strong> is a natural lagoon with long wooden walkways winding through the marshes.
