Fine, white sand beaches are a hallmark of the Algarve. Some beaches, stretch as far as the eye can see, others are nestled in coves surrounded by golden cliffs. The seas are usually aqua blue and the waters nearly always calm and warm. And while some beaches are well-known, others are virtually unexplored.
