About the Beach
What is Praia do Alvor (Nascente) Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Portimão.
Praia do Alvor (East) Beach has a very extensive sand of about 1,3 Km.
It's inserted in the base of a peninsula with a vast dune system and gentle waters.
At the east, the sand known as Praia dos Três Irmãos Beach has a cliff with Pestana Alvor Praia Beach & Golf Hotel on its top. Immediately east from here, a small bank of sand embedded in the cliff, also with a beach bar, creates the perfect conditions for those who seek quietness and privacy.
This is one of the most crowded beaches across Algarve and holds the Blue Flag since the year of its implementation across Europe, 1987.
