Praia da Alagoa, Beach in Altura, Portugal
The 2.3-kilometer sandy beach extends along the Atlantic coast, featuring low dunes and green pine trees that separate it from the town.
The beach area developed alongside the fishing village of Altura, which grew into a coastal settlement during the 20th century expansion of the Algarve.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the shoreline, bringing fresh catches directly to the nearby restaurants and markets.
The beach provides amenities including sunshade rentals, showers, lifeguard services, outdoor parking, and direct access to waterfront restaurants and bars.
The temperature of the seawater remains consistently between 22 and 24 degrees Celsius throughout summer, creating conditions for extended swimming periods.
