The massive beach in front of the village of Alvor fringes the eastern half of Lagos Bay. You can walk straight on to it. There are sand dunes but no cliffs. It is a wide open beach, popular among windsurfers, and good for other watersports as well.
Torralta is really a continuation of Alvor beach in front of the Torralta holiday complex tower blocks, just to the east of Alvor village.
The eastern end of Torralta beach is marked by the rise of the golden cliffs that are so characteristic of much of the western Algarve coastline. Nestling in here is this cove, which translates to ‘Three Brothers’. Car park next to the beach.
