Huge beach! It's about 3 miles/6 km long. The west end is the family beach but the east end past…read morethe boardwalk is a clothing optional beach if that's your thing. The west end is also is good for finding seashells. There are multiple restaurants and umbrella rental services along the beach. The waves tend to be higher here that Pria Porto de Mos because it's more exposed (as are some of the patrons!).

Very cute marina with many restaurants around. Good place to have dinner before going out to a club…read morelike LICK or to cool down after a day at the beach and have an Amorino ice cream cone.

Beautiful beach and can get crowded especially with the rising tides decreasing the amount of space…read moreavailable for beach goers around the afternoon. Sand was clean. Views are incredible. Water was clear and blue but very cold at the time that I went. We came in the beginning of May, and our skin would turn red if we stayed in the water too long. There's a long staircase down to the beach. Probably not a good idea for very old and fragile, tired people. Otherwise, quite doable.

This is easily one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen in Europe and the best I saw in…read morePortugal. Underneath the cliffs, you can walk down a lengthy set of stairs to the beach. The shots from the cliffs themselves are the most ready for Instagram, but I'd suggest taking the stairs down and spend some time on the beach. It's a beautiful serene spot that is worth the climb up/down the stairs. As many have suggested, this is better for the young and limber given the amount of stairs necessary to make it down to the beach.

Not sure why this beach only has a 3.7 rating. We went to most of the beaches in Lagos and this is…read moreby far the nicest of them all Not as long and deep as the main Lagos beach but still the nicest). There are several sections that you can go and they all have the fantastic rock formations and are extremely clean. We were off season and not a lot of people, but if you are looking for a gorgeous beach in Lagos, this is the one. We had head Camillo was nice but we went there and it is tiny and does not compare to Dona Ann (and Camillo has 220 stairs!).

Outstanding view, can get a bit crowded at times. A lot of shells in the sand so it can get a bit…read morerough to walk; just make sure to bring sandals. There is no one playing their stupid radio as we see it in NYC beaches. Parking is free, make sure you come early for a good spot. Overall great beach to scape but there are others less crowded and enjoyable as well.

Seacret Tours is Magical! We were in the Algarve for the first time. We decided to enjoy a cave…read moreand dolphin experience with a small group on a vessel which was close to the water. The tour guides Axel and Daniel were AWESOME. These men are guardians of the ocean and knew intuitively where the dolphins would surface. They have respect for the sea creatures, the ocean and for their guests. They maneuvered their sea craft safely by the cliffs and in the caves. I felt exhilaration and the guides were just as excited when the dolphins emerged. These men are the BEST that the Algarve experience has to offer. I was Blessed!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Seacret-tours.com in the Algarve if you want to feel the joy of the Southern Coast along Algarve, Portugal! Bravo and Obrigada to Axel and Daniel!

What an amazing beach. Known as fishermans beach in English. Really beautiful place. Just got back…read morefrom visiting Albufeira on holiday and my friend and I came across the beach on our first day. Although the weather was no where near as hot as it could have been, the beach was still lovely to walk along and even dip your toes into the water I feeling brave. Really really lovely beach and surrounded by the amazing old town with its cobbled streets and winding roads.

Just in front of the lovely old town of Albufeira you'll find this popular beach…read more And it's nice beach. It's long, it's wide...and it's very clean. Nice color as well and well taken care of. A bunch of businesses rent out chairs and umbrellas and there's some water sports as well. Showers to rinse off the sand and salt too. Wooden planks to walk on, which is important since the sand is painfully hot in summer. Even though very popular and well visited it didn't feel overcrowded due to its size...there's enough room for everybody. There's only one restaurant directly on the beach. The "O Farol". It's an ok place, but if you just want some drinks and light food you should take a seat at the attached kiosk, which is run by the same restaurant. Great to enjoy the views and watch the world go by. As nice as this beach is, be aware that the water here is pretty cold. You either have to get really hot first or it will be only a quick dip in the water.

Perhaps we were spoiled because we were staying just up the hill, but this is a great beach…read more We were visiting in late September and the weather wasn't too sunny so the place was pretty sparse. I'm sure in summer it's a different story but we loved walking along the Long Beach with its gently sloping sand. Not really any shells here so it's a great walking or sandcastle beach. Because of its proximity to the city of Portimão (the building tower above it), there are a lot of concessionaires from chair rental to watercraft rental to many bars and restaurants-plenty of activity. Also we learned on our last day there is a small tunnel on the far western edge and you can continue walking much further to additional adjacent beaches. As beach walking is my favorite pastime, this was my ideal beach.
