Três Irmãos and Alvor
To the west, Três Irmãos beach and the village of Alvor, with its estuary and wooden boardwalks, have quieter hotels and resorts. Good for families.
Ferragudo
Across the river, the village of Ferragudo has white houses, a castle by the sea and Praia Grande. Small places to stay and a fishing-village feel, a few minutes from Portimão by car.
