Praia das Primas, Beach in Altura, Portugal
Praia das Primas is a beach along the Algarve coast featuring golden sand and water suitable for swimming throughout the year. The shoreline extends gently and is framed by rocky outcrops that define the cove's character.
The beach has been maintained in its natural state through decades of local environmental protection efforts. This commitment to coastal preservation has protected the area from intensive development.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come together during warm months to enjoy fresh seafood and spend time with family.
Parking is available near the beach entrance and restaurants as well as shops are within walking distance from Altura town center. The best time to visit is from late spring through early autumn when weather conditions are most stable.
The water here is notably warmer than at neighboring beaches due to specific ocean currents flowing along this stretch of coast. This natural condition makes the cove attractive to those seeking more comfortable swimming temperatures.
