Fine sandy beaches or rocky cliffs – the Algarve has both. Quiet seekers, surfers and party-goers alike will find their perfect beach. The former, for example, around Carvoeira, where there are many small, secluded coves. Beach hotels in the Algarve's hotspots can be found in Portimão, for example, at Praia da Marina with shallow access to the sea. Surfers will find their perfect wave in Sagres. Praia de Benagil is legendary, with a huge walk-in rock cave washed out by the sea.
