Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Breath taking views. Very impressed by the quality of the infrastructure to allow tourists to meander around the rock formations and beaches. Lots of boardwalks and stairs to move around the rocky outcrops safely without hindering the beautiful views.

    This was the best beach we visited in Algarve, large, with many place to stay and clean yellow sand, many small creeks to go.
    A place to go!

    Wonderful to see the beach from the boardwalk. It is really lovely. There is the Restaurant right there too which has fresh fish. And a beach restroom by the boardwalk.

    Easy access from the free station car park. 2 bars here which sit on the back of the beach. (Set satnav for Bar Quim - means Who in Catalan apparently).
    In front of bars & to the right towards Lagos is more crowded, sunbeds & umbrellas to hire plus a life guarded section.
    Take the well made board walk to the left of the bars for 5 mins until it ends. The beach then stretches out in front of you until the Alvor river. Allow 2 hours to walk to the end & back. The sand is soft & clean.
    The naturist section begins with a minute or two of leaving the end of the boardwalk & continues to the end of the beach. It’s not an officially recognised naturist beach but is clearly very well recognised & established.
    No facilities here but lots of space to find a tranquil spot. A few people wandering on the shore line (naked & clothed) but not many.
    All in all we think one of the best naturist beaches on the Algarve. Would definitely recommend & return.

    Beautiful beach away from the crowds. Not overcrowded and plenty of room. Nice restaurants and snack stands up top from the beach. Looks like you can rent beach lounges, paddle boards and more. Surfing lessons too!

    Just amazing views. Theres wooden walkways so that everyone can visit and see the cliffs. Stairs going up and down from the water might be a challenge for older ppl, but worth it if you can make it. if you can t make it you can still enjoy the scenery in a lot of different ways

    Walking around the small city center of Lagos was a lovely experience. In just a short time, you can take in the marina, enjoy a meal downtown, browse souvenir shops, and still have time to relax by your hotel pool in the afternoon. There’s plenty of history to explore for those interested, along with a great variety of restaurants to choose from. While some streets can be a bit slippery and there are a few rundown buildings with graffiti, overall, Lagos feels like a peaceful escape—especially compared to Lisbon.

    Good for smaller children as it is small and easy to get around. My kids loved seeing the monkeys and although there isn’t a huge amount of larger animals they enjoyed all the birds and seeing the reptiles also.

    Well worth having a walk around the Marina in Lagos. Very relaxing visiting the various bars and sitting in the sunshine . Prices better at some bars/ restaurants than others . Worth checking them out before entering

    We visited this beach first and were very impressed. It’s small but beautiful.

    There is no where to get food and drink at this beach - but a lovely local man came around selling sandwiches, fruit, and cold drinks.

    A lovely afternoon can be spent here!

    Not very easy to access. It's not a very difficult hike, but the path is not very safe. Steps are crumbling and there is a very narrow part that you have to hold on to wooden sticks. If you can go pass that, the beach is beautiful, very secluded, clean and beautiful water.

    A good option on a rainy day with a young child (4 years). Quite a few age appropriate activities including an interactive submarine.
