Praia da Prainha, Sand beach in Alvor, Portugal
The small coves of golden sand at Praia da Prainha are separated by water-sculpted rock formations that create natural arches and caves along the shoreline.
The beach area demonstrates the geological evolution of the Algarve coast through its limestone cliffs, shaped by centuries of water and wind erosion patterns.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices near Praia da Prainha, where small boats still launch from the beach for daily catches.
The beach provides essential facilities including lifeguard services, first-aid station, showers, restrooms, and designated sunshade areas for visitor comfort and safety.
Marine life thrives in the rocky coves below the tide line, making this location a preferred destination for diving enthusiasts to observe underwater ecosystems.
