The world's most iconic orange-cliffed beaches — golf, surfing, and Atlantic sunshine.
The Algarve is Portugal at its finest for beaches — sheer golden cliffs, sea caves, granite rock stacks, and turquoise water form Europe's most dramatic coastal scenery. Praia da Marinha, Ponta da Piedade, and Benagil Cave are photographed worldwide. Golf courses are almost as numerous as beaches, and prices are clearly lower than Spain.
