Our favorite beach on the Sandalgarve is

"Praia do Barril"

Depending on the region, no beach is like the other one. From Vila Real de San Antonio to Faro - is called the east-coast Algarve. The beaches here are long and wide sandy beaches in a beautiful dune landscape. Here is also the parc of the Ria Formosa; a huge lagoon with its islands (Cacelha Velho, Praia da Fabrica, Ilha de Tavira, Ilha Deserta, Ilha Armona, Ilha do Farol) and turquoise blue waters. The Ria Formosa starts in Tavira and ends in Faro. 

Our favorite beaches on the westcoast Algarve are "Praia da Falesia" or "Praia Sao Rafael"

The west-coast Algarve ranges from Faro to Sagres, the most southwestern point of Europe. The westcoast with its small bays, many caves and impressive cliff formations is very varied and also beautiful. Here you can book a boat or a kayak tour to see the diversity of the Algarve from the sea. Depending on the season you can watch whales and dolphins crossing the Atlantic see.
