Praia Grande

Praia Grande is a beach with a broad expanse of white sand that lies in between Armacao de Pera and Salgados. The resort is free from any man-made infrastructure and so is perfect for nature lovers. Owing to its clam waters, the beach is also distinguished as one of the safest beaches in Algarve. Visitors who prefer lazing around can hire sunshades and sun beds to soak under the sun, while watching a fleet of splendid yachts. Meanwhile travelers with more energy can hop to the water sports center and enjoy the adventurous high-speed boating and other activities.  

Praia do Benagil

This popular beach is an absolute gem, whose beauty keeps visitors coming back for more. The numerous vehicles parked on the roadside can speak for the alluring glamour of the beach. Praia do Benagil is hidden behind a gigantic craggy cliff and first time visitors are always mesmerized by the beautiful golden sands and clear waters of the beach. Owing to the fact that Benagil is hidden from the public view, every person who comes here always feels that they made a real discovery.

Praia da Rocha

This beach is one of the most popular places in Algarve. In fact, it is regarded as a major tourist hot-spot. However, this does not mean that people who don’t like to be in the middle of the crowds should avoid this place. The breathtaking view of the long stretch of sand covered by large cliffs should not be missed by nature lovers. “Indented Rocks” and “Three Bears” are some of the names given by the local dwellers to identify the rocks that tower from the sand, which provide comforting shades when the sun is up.

Praia da Rocha is internationally known as well for its sweeping bay that offers outstanding conditions for boat-rides and water sports. Extremely cosmopolitan, the beach also offers a wide variety of night entertainment that becomes all the more frenzied during the peak summer season.

With the clear blue sea and long stretch of sand that greets travelers in Armacao de Pera and with the craggy cliffs, water sports and a lively nightlife on its beaches, there is little doubt as to why the resort is one of the most popular summer holiday spots in Europe.
