Fab beach, free parking. The sea was calm and perfect for little kids (and big!) to feel totally safe and have a great time. There is no shade unless you take your own or pay for a beach cabana/parasol and loungers. It's also massive so if you want to sit away from other people you can. Lots of beautiful shells for kids to play with and the sand is good for sandcastles. All in all its a lovely place to visit.

Beautiful beach with miles of soft sand. Sand bars make for good walking and playing games. Can be a little windy but nothing too crazy. Great for families and anyone who likes a laid back vibe- lots of parking available as well. It doesn’t have the cliffs the algarve is known for but still a must visit!

Very nice beach with soft sand. Great for long walks. Water is very clear, but cold. Good for cooling off on a hot day. This beach is huge so lots of space and so no squeezing like other nearby beaches. The area closest to the marina has the best water and no seaweed. Washrooms outside each restaurant.

Amazing beach, sandy long and clean. We hired sunbeds from one of the bars for €15 a pair inc umbrella. Great value and as it’s such. A huge beach there was plenty of room. Kids even got involved in the water sports on offer.

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.
