The best time to visit is September and the first half of October, when the ocean warms up to around 21 \u00b0C and there are fewer tourists. The Algarve enjoys over three hundred sunny days a year, on the A22 motorway you&#8217;ll need the electronic Via Verde device, and thanks to the new 2026 rental rules it&#8217;s a good idea to book your accommodation half a year in advance.<\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-tldr -->\n\n\n<p>In our opinion, the beaches in the Algarve, Portugal, are quite simply the most beautiful in the world.\u263a\ufe0f<strong> You don&#8217;t have to agree with us, but you&#8217;ll definitely find beaches here that you&#8217;ll fall in love with.<\/strong> From the magical hidden coves of Carvoeiro, through the lively and busy coastline near Portim\u00e3o, all the way to the surfer&#8217;s paradise around Sagres \u2013 every spot has something special.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re planning a seaside holiday, <strong>the Algarve in Portugal is our top spot.<\/strong> With more than 200 stunning beaches scattered along the coast, <strong>the Algarve boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find the most varied beaches here, from coves surrounded by limestone cliffs to sprawling golden sandy stretches \u2013 there really is something for everyone. The region offers picturesque scenery with unique rock formations and crystal-clear turquoise water that will take your breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons the beaches in the Algarve are so popular is the <strong>favourable climate<\/strong>. With sunshine <strong>on around 300 days a year<\/strong>, you can comfortably enjoy sunbathing, swimming and all kinds of water sports. <strong>We even swam here in October, though by then the water was really only for the brave.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_best_beaches_in_the_Algarve_Portugal\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_najkrajsich_plazi_v_Portugalsku_v_Algarve\"><\/span>20 best beaches in the Algarve, Portugal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s take a look at our favourite beaches in the Algarve. In our opinion, these are the most beautiful beaches in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Praia_da_Marinha\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Praia_da_Marinha\"><\/span>Praia da Marinha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Praia da Marinha is one of the most iconic beaches in the Algarve, famous for its fascinating limestone cliffs, golden sand and crystal-clear water. <strong>In high season it must be seriously packed, because even off-season there are quite a few people around.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love going there to watch the sunset, and once we even dragged ourselves out for the sunrise. In winter there&#8217;s no charge for parking, but in summer there is, and the number of people allowed on the beach is limited too. So set off early! In summer, dogs aren&#8217;t allowed on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portugalbay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"The best beaches in Portugal - Praia da Marinha\" class=\"wp-image-327\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/praia-da-marinha.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Praia da Marinha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_beach_in_central_Carvoeiro\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plaz_v_centre_Carvoeiro\"><\/span>The beach in central Carvoeiro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stay in Carvoeiro, don&#8217;t miss the local beach.
