Rugged cliffs and secluded coves give the beaches of Carvoeiro plenty of character, with rock formations that have become attractions in their own right. Take a boat trip to see the caves of Praia de Benagil, where a circular ‘eye’ opening gives sight of a small beach hidden inside. Speaking of beaches, Praia da Marinha is considered one of the world’s most beautiful, with incredibly transparent waters, and Praia da Carvoeiro itself is also very pleasing. Many of the caves along the coast are visible from Carvoeiro’s boardwalk on the clifftop. Another notable sight is the beautiful Alfanzina Lighthouse. The A Boneca restaurant is also remarkable not because there’s any shortage of them, but because of its incredible location. Set amongst the rocks and caves, it has a spectacular view of the ocean. At around 50 minutes’ drive from Faro Airport, Carvoeiro enjoys a great location west of that city. South of mountainous Monchique and within easy reach of Silves, it’s clear of the hedonism of the Albufeira strip, and only 20 minutes drive from Portimão. With its stunning marina and excellent shopping facilities, this riverside city is well worth a visit. The area is made for watersports like wind-surfing, kayaking and sailing, but if you don’t want to risk getting wet, there are also plenty of golf courses and inland areas of natural beauty.
