BEACHES
There are about 100 sandy attractive beaches along the Algarve coast, all washed by the Atlantic ocean and due to the maritime shelf and water currents the sea temperature can be surprisingly warm even in some winter months. Located on the tip of Europe with the vast ocean of the Atlantic as its southern and western border, this enviable position gives this region possibly the most unpolluted climate in the European continent.

Just a short stroll from the Country Club is the Praia de Alvor, a 3 mile long sandy beach, with rocky coves at its eastern end. Further afield, there are a combination of long sandy beaches and secluded beach coves stretching along the entire south coast.
On the west coast, and well worth the forty minute drive, are vast undeveloped stretches of coastline facing west towards the Azores, with dramatic cliffs, wild untouched beaches and surf to die for. |
