Lovely beach about a 30 min drive outside of Lagos! Not too crowded and boasts all of the beauty you wish to see including crystal blue waters and large rock formations. There are a number of restaurants to eat at although they can be kind of inconsistent with hours and take out availability. Chairs with umbrellas are available for rent and inexpensive.

We spent a week in the Algarve and visited quite a few beaches in Alvor, Lagos, portimao, and Ferragudo - and this was by far our fav. We liked the little cove by the three brothers rocks. It was relatively quiet, the sea was beautiful and there was a nice little beach bar selling drinks and food and had a toilet. Gorgeous.

This beach is a must see. Beautifully set against high cliffs. Make sure to take a walk all the way to the cliffs and beyond, very much worth it. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent and there are several restaurants for drinks and lunch. We loved it, as did our kids (1,5 and 3,5 yrs).

There is a lot of fuss about this beach like it is one of the most beautiful os Algarve. Is not bad but is not the best.
Excessively touristic and massive and so extremely crowded. Also, you have the boats and the jetskis passing all the time and making a lot of noise.
Most of the time, it is full of algae.
Personally, I saw better beaches in Algarve.

I went to Irmao for the moga festival.
Definitely a beautiful place but full of instragramers… the food is expensive and you need to book a table to have a chance to seat.
Not the best beach club, a lot of others around for sure! Miss the restaurant La Plage…

The beach is clean. It ends with the famous rocks that you can climb or pass between. The water is about 16 degrees in winter. And the great restaurant ‘O Luis’ is located here. Some people stay and free camp with their motorhomes here.

An extension of the praia do Alvor but what a spectacular place to watch the sunset. The waves mean that you can walk out a long way from shore into warm water and wave surf.
Quiet and secluded compared to the main beach. It is a must visit whilst in Alvor and well worth the walk.

Great sandy beach, with very nicerocks forming a typical Algarvan scene. You can book a spectacular boat trip to (and in !!!) the narrow caves, an amazing trip that you shouldn't mis. Must do experience :)

The Praia da Rocha and the Tres Irmaos are lying next to each other, separated by a high rock formation, interconnected by tunnels. It is an overstatement, but if da Rocha, together with it's wide stretch of sandy beach, vendors, suncreams and cigarette butts is Mr. Hyde, than the Tres Irmaos with it's rock formations, caves, tunnels and hideouts is certainly Dr. Jekyll. Anyway, you just can't see one without the other.

We parked our car by the beach of Praia dos Trés irmãos on April 13, 2015. We had put most of put valuables in the boot of the car, locked everything up and went to the beach for one hour. Came back to find that a thief had taken everything from purses, cameras, and personal ID. The thief use a small punch to enter the drivers side.

I do NOT now where the Vilamor Apt. are located, I suggest you got to Google Map to get answer to your question, we stayed at the Don Juan which is Oceanfront and it is just a 10 min. walk along the beach from there turning left facing the ocean.

Is there easy access to public transportation to and from this beach? Specifically would it be easy to pick up a taxi, we are coming from Portimão and would like to visit this beach while there for a day.

Yes, there are always taxis floating about by the beach or at the bottom of town. It’s only a few minutes to town from the beach anyway and the boardwalk makes it really accessible.

Combien de temps de marches ?

Bonjour, il faut compter 1 petite heure de marche allé retour si on est les pieds dans le sable à l'allé et sur le sentier "à l'intérieur" au retour, pause photos comprises. Mais il serait dommage de se priver d'une baignade ou de monter sur les hauteurs pour profiter de la vue plongeante.
