Golden beaches, lazy estuary walks, and a peaceful old town make Alvor an easy delight. Framed by dunes, cliffs, and quiet cobbled streets, Alvor is a charming coastal escape. Begin on the Alvor Boardwalk, a peaceful path through estuary wetlands, ideal for birdwatching and sunset walks. Head to Praia de Alvor for low-tide beachcombing or venture to Praia dos Tres Irmaos for hidden coves. In the old town, wander Rua Marques de Pombal, lined with tiled houses and flower pots. Cap it off with grilled octopus, clams a Bulhao Pato, or sweet almond pastries at a harbor-view cafe.
