The main reason for visiting the Algarve is the endless number of beautiful beaches. There’s something for every kind of beach lover, from protected coves with limestone caves to long sweeping white-sand bays.

Portugal’s Algarve region sees at least 300 days of sunshine per year, meaning that there’s an approximately 80 percent chance that visitors here will be basking in the warm sun all vacation long.

The fresh breeze and rough coastline of the West Coast of the Algarve are something not to miss. The enormous sand beaches are rougher and often much quieter!
