Explore the Algarve’s Best Beaches by Bike with Algarve Cycling
Slide through the coast, one pedal at a time 🚴♀️🌊
The Algarve is known for its golden cliffs, turquoise waters, and postcard-worthy beaches, and there’s no better way to experience it all than from the saddle of a bike. At Algarve Cycling, we combine adventure with relaxation, guiding you to some of the region’s most breathtaking beaches on two wheels.
Whether you're cruising along the cliffs or pedalling through pine forests, each route offers a unique way to connect with nature, avoid the crowds, and uncover the Algarve's coastal charm.
Here are six incredible beaches you can discover on a cycling tour with us:
1. Praia da Marinha (Lagoa)
Often ranked among Europe’s most beautiful beaches, Praia da Marinha is a must-see. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and clear blue water, the ride to this beach is just as rewarding as the view from the top. It’s a great stop for photos, a quick swim, or a moment of pure peace.
2. Praia do Amado (Costa Vicentina)
A surfer’s paradise on the wild west coast, Praia do Amado offers a different kind of beauty: rugged, remote, and full of energy. Cycling through the Costa Vicentina Natural Park brings you face to face with untouched landscapes and a true sense of freedom.
3. Praia da Falésia (Albufeira)
Stretching for over 6km, Praia da Falésia is famous for its red sandstone cliffs and long, golden shore. Our route to this beach includes scenic forest paths and cliff-top viewpoints: perfect for riders who want that mix of tranquility and awe-inspiring views.
4. Praia de São Rafael (Albufeira)
Hidden between rocky outcrops, this beach is a hidden gem near Albufeira. A short and peaceful ride leads you to calm turquoise waters and dramatic limestone formations: ideal for a refreshing break along your journey.
5. Praia de Cacela Velha (Vila Real de Santo António)
This eastern Algarve treasure combines culture, history, and nature. Ride through the peaceful countryside to reach the charming village of Cacela Velha, where the beach stretches into the Ria Formosa lagoon. It’s a spot that feels like a step back in time.
6. Praia do Barril (Tavira)
Accessible by bike and a short crossing of a scenic footbridge, Praia do Barril is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The route takes you through salt flats and birdwatching spots before arriving at this unique beach: known for its peaceful atmosphere and the old tuna fishing anchors lining the sand.
