Prais dos Pescadores offers a variety of convenient amenities like showers and sunbeds and is also considered one of the best beaches in Algarve.

Praia dos Tres Irmaos

Praia dos Tres Irmaos means ‘Beach of the Three Brothers’. This name is given because of the three rocks on the beach standing as three brothers standing together. The beach is covered with soft sand, and sometimes it tickles your feet as you walk barefoot on the sand. Praia dos Tres Irmaos is an excellent place for snorkelling. You will be able to see different species of small fish in the water.

The exciting part is that the beach is not usually crowded as compared to the urban beaches of Portimao. The beach is the best vacation spot for couples and families. The rock caves on the coast are also very popular among the kids to showcase their skills, building a sandcastle away from the crashing water waves.
