Beaches


The main attraction for many visitors to the area, the Algarve has numerous beaches all along its long coastline, many of which have been awarded Blue Flags. 

Meia Praia – Meia Praia is a long beach situated close to Lagos, and due to its size, it never gets too busy, even in the middle of summer.

Praia da Rocha – Praia da Rocha is a popular purpose built beach resort.  The beach itself is backed by high cliffs, so this resort may not suit those with restricted mobility.

Golf
