Praia don Ana is one of the most famous beaches in Lagos and one you’ll likely have seen photographs of. The rock formations that stand just outside its shores make it reminiscent of the 12 apostles on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. They’ve an impressive stature and a gorgeous orange tone that contrasts the beautiful blue skies. Much like the rest of the locations on this list, the waters here are clear but cold, thanks to the Atlantic Ocean!

The best part of Praia dos Estudantes is actually the smaller beach adjacent to it. This secluded little cove isn’t accessible via the main road. Instead you have to make your way to Praia dos Estudantes and head through a little tunnel in the rocks. On the other side you’ll find a sun-basked cove with an old Roman-style bridge built high above the water. This unusual architectural feature makes it one of the most interesting beaches in the Algarve. It’s particularly popular amongst young people, many of whom you can find catching a photo of the infamous arch for their Instagram feed!

Upon first glance, Meia Praia might not seem as exciting as the other beaches on this list. Without any interesting coastline or secret cave tunnels, you could be forgiven for thinking it was the same as any other European beach. What it lacks in character though, it more than makes up for in space and soft sand. Stretching about 4.5km, it’s one of the longest beaches in the Algarve, meaning it’s never overcrowded and you can always find a spot to catch some sunshine. If all you’re looking for is a guaranteed spot on some seriously soft sand, then look no further than Meia Praia.
