Alvor beach, Atlantic beach in Faro, Portugal
Alvor Beach stretches for several kilometers along the Algarve coast, featuring fine white sand that meets the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The fishing village of Alvor, overlooking the beach, maintains a rich maritime heritage dating back to the Moorish occupation in the 8th century.
Local beach restaurants serve traditional Algarve dishes made with fresh fish, caught daily by the local fishing community.
The beach offers complete facilities with showers, restrooms, umbrella and sunbed rentals, plus extensive parking space for visitors.
The Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve, accessible via a wooden boardwalk, hosts numerous migratory bird species in its lagoons.
