Praia do Zavial
Situated to the west of the Algarve in Portugal, Praia do Zavial is a fantastic beach that consists of fine golden sand which is backed up by rocks that have fallen from the eroding cliffs that surround the beach.

Praia da Rocha
Located in the central region of the Algarve in Portugal is the popular tourist resort of Praia da Rocha.

Praia da Salema
Praia da Salema is a long beach with the village of Salema directly behind it. Although Salema is somewhat larger than it used to be, it is still a typical Portuguese fishing village and perhaps one of the only truly unspoilt fishing villages on the Algarve. With its narrow cobbled streets that wind past fishermans cottages and the brightly coloured fishing boats lining the long stretch of fine golden sand, Salema is a far cry from the more tourist orientated resorts on the Algarve. Each morning the local fishermen can be seen launching their boats as they set off onto the Atlantic Ocean for the days fishing.

Situated near Porches in the municipality of Lagoa on the Algarve in Portugal is the delightful beach of Praia da Senhora da Rocha, or Praia da Nossa Senhora da Rocha which translates into 'Beach of Our Lady of the Rock'.
