Alvor Beach, Portugal, long boardwalk down to a lovely white sandy beach, perfect for splash & play!
The local beaches for the different resorts in the Algarve are all stunning and the majority have blue flag status, Alvor is no exception, although we found some works going on and limited access when we visited.
Praia de Alvor is a popular beach in the town of Alvor. This former fishing village transformed into a lively tourist destination, with many restaurants and bars. Near Alvor beach you can find a long boardwalk, that takes you through the beautiful Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve

The picturesque village of Alvor is a link between the history, heritage and natural beauty.
Strolling in the streets is a real workout for the senses.
We invite you to up and down the streets in search of the best view of the houses for one of the most impressive passages of the Algarve: the Ria de Alvor.
Fishing boats contrast with the calm of the sea air and the reddish tones of the sky with sunset.

SequaTours - Birdwatching Ria Formosa
The Ria Formosa is a true sanctuary of nature and a privileged location to observe birds, by being a migratory corridor containing some of the last places in Europe for some birds to make nests.
The Natural Park is visited annually by about 30 thousand birds from different species.
On this tour we will be looking for the birds, and get to see a still ecological and sustainable salt economy - using traditional methods which are 2000 years old.
Sign up for this relaxing, stimulating and educational adventure and you'll bring back photos and memories of the most beautiful landscape and wild life, that will last a lifetime!

PORTIMÅO | F1 H2O | Algarve
The Formula 1 Powerboat World Championship is an international motorboat racing competition for powerboats organised by the Union Internationale Motonautique and promoted by H2O Racing, hence it often being referred to as F1H2O.
Portimao is a Portuguese town (Portuguese: cidade) located in the District of Faro in the Region of Algarve, the southern coast of Portugal. It was formerly known as Vila Nova de Portimao. In 1924, it was incorporated as a cidade and became known merely as Portimao. The town has 45,000 inhabitants and the Portimão Municipality has 52,000 (as of 2006). The two most populous towns in the Algarve are Portimao and Faro.
Portimao is ideally situated for exploring the Algarve, a region truly unique in its diversity. The coast consists of sandy beaches, magnificent colored rock formations, caves and protected nature reserves like Ria Formosa, Ria de Alvor and Costa Vicentina Park where migrating birds make their stopover amidst an undisturbed environment of indigenous flora and fauna. The southern coastal area, developed with tourism in mind, has a wide range of daytime activities and a vibrant nightlife to offer whereas the interior presents a more relaxed way to spend the day. Caldas de Monchique is a perfect example.
The beautiful scenery and traditional villages in the hinterland should not be forgotten. Admire the local arts and crafts, try the homemade bread, smoked ham presuntoand sausages chorizo” accompanied by the special mountain firewater ”medronho”, distilled from arbutus berries. The historic past of the Algarve, Roman and Arab occupation followed by its integration in the Portuguese kingdom, is shown in the many museums or, better still, by a visit to historical sites like the Castle and Cathedral in Silves or the Cape Vicente and Henry the Navigator’s fort in Sagres.
Summertime is clearly the busiest time of the year but the mild climate of the Algarve, and many sunny winter days attract a multinational crowd in all seasons, exploring the regional markets, visiting interesting places, strolling along the river boulevard or just sipping a drink in a garden bar. Golfenthusiasts are drawn by an exceptional choice of first class golf courses and comfortable, pleasant resorts like Quarteira, Portimão and Vilamoura. Especially during the tourist season, there are many concerts, festivals and fairs to enjoy. The highlight of the summer is probably the sardine festival, a popular annual event that lasts a whole week. It is held in the Valhalla of sardine culture in the Algarve: Portimao.
