- Claudia B35 contributionsI met the famous beachIt's a beautiful beach. Very quiet. I went by bus from Rocha very simply. Too bad there's a lot of seaweed near the stones. The closest part to Alvor was clear. Anyway, she's beautiful. The ideal climate to enjoy the beach and the sea.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 8, 2024

Very sandy beach with a few restaurants and bars dotted alongside. Also access to the walkway to get to Alvor. Quite early season so not too busy.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 21, 2025

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.

Beautiful area past the main beach at Alvor. A couple of beach restaurants, which offer great local, fresh food. Best accessed when tide is out. At the time of writing this there was a huge amount of seaweed, massive piles which had built up and were quite pungent but do not let that put you off from a visit. Great photo opportunities.

We set off early- well we were meant but walk the beach to get the point where we needed get to the 3 brothers . I can honestly say that everything you read will be as accurate as it can be but one thing no one mentions is the algae. If the algae is present then your experience will be somewhat disappointing unless you are risking everything to get the the 3 brothers.
You have 2options go the short way - which present natural obstacles or go the long way up sone stairs and rough pathway , you can either go via the canico restaurant but again coz of algae we were told to take another path that went through the rocks
This was tricky but doable - sadly we saw the 3 brothers from the top and due to algae could not go through the caves
Beautiful rock formations on lovely beaches worth venturing out

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…

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.

The rocky area of these beaches is very cool. It is worth going if you are in Alvor or Portimao. You have to be a little careful with the tides as there are areas where you could be isolated if you are careless. In any case, if you see the towel sellers and so on there, there is still a long time left. And if you see that there are no people bathing in some places, imagine why.
There are also restaurants tucked into the rock.
It is a beautiful area, full of people, but it is worth going

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).

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.

How far is beach from vilamor apartments
Written January 17, 2020
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.

Are there sun loungers to hire at this beach
Written May 26, 2019
Don't think there are sun loungers on Tres Irmaos. Just back & didnt see any.There are however on Alvor beach which is next to it ( either through the caves or from Prainha clube resort)

Quisiera saber si en Alvor hay excursiones para SUP o esnorquel. Gracias

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.
Written November 15, 2018
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 ?
Written September 17, 2018
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.
