Praia de Boca do Rio

Praia de Cabanas Velhas is an almost-secret beach on the western Algarve, with turquoise water and a small cove of white sand sheltered by rocks. The absence of any amenities ensures a completely untouched natural experience. Visitors who walk the Vicentine Coast trails discover here one of the most beautiful and quiet beaches in the entire Algarve.

Praia de Salema is one of the most authentic fishing-village beaches in the western Algarve, with fishermen's boats lined up on the sand and a traditional village that has kept its identity despite tourism growth. Calm water and fine sand create perfect conditions for families, and the village's fresh-fish restaurants are a local benchmark. Its genuinely Algarvian feel sets Salema apart from the more touristy beaches in the region.

Praia de Almádena/cabanas Velhas is in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, district of Faro, in the Algarve region. Coastal beach with water quality rated Excellent by APA in 2025.

Praia de Burgau is a charming small beach tucked into a cove, with the picturesque fishing village cascading down to the sand. Its location on the western Algarve, between Lagos and Sagres, ensures clean water and a less crowded atmosphere than the more touristy beaches in the region. The surrounding rock formations and walkable sea caves make for a uniquely exploratory experience.
