Algarve beaches

 

There are many beautiful beaches all within approx 15 minutes drive from the villa. The beaches nearby have the “blue flag”, beautiful large sandy beaches with protected dunes, and are amongst the cleanest in Europe.The family orientated beach “Vale do Garrao” has plenty of beach restaurants, and water sports. There are also accessible beaches nearby.

The “Accessible Beaches – Beaches for Everyone” project is an initiative of the National Coordination Committee for the European Year of People with Disabilities (CNCAEPD) to make river and sea beaches accessible to people with reduced mobility and to raise awareness and provide information about the most accessible beaches.

Accessible beaches comply with access requirements, such as ramps, footpaths and walkways, support facilities (such as bars and first-aid posts), handrails, adapted toilet facilities, parking places and lower bars and counters. The beaches that meet these requirements are awarded the “Accessible Beach” flag and are promoted at an international level.
