All about Alvor
Alvor, a traditional Portuguese fishing town on the Alvor Estuary, is nestled between the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve and the sandy Praia do Alvor beach, popular for its glittering surf. Founded by the Romans, and later fortified by the Moors, Alvor’s picturesque, whitewashed houses and cobbled streets now form a peaceful haven on the southern coast of Portugal.
Small boats still trundle along the river banks, and their fresh daily catches of sea bass and tuna can be enjoyed in intimate local restaurants. Despite the rich history of the town, few historical monuments remain due to the devastation caused by the 1755 earthquake. Churches were rebuilt in the Rococo style, and the castle foundations in the centre of town became a children’s playground.
Alvor is a popular destination for low-key beach breaks among the rugged sandstone cliffs, with easy access to the buzzing resorts and activities of the central Algarve, including the bars, clubs, and shows in Praia da Rocha just around the bay.
What are the top things to do in Alvor?
Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve
Elevated wooden walkways guide you across the mudflats and sand dunes of the Ria de Alvor Nature Reserve, located less than 10 minutes drive from town. The boardwalk runs the length of the beach before dividing into meandering pathways around the estuary and marshes. Wide enough for wheelchairs and bicycles, this accessible route is perfect for bird-spotting, with local flamingos, storks, and kites making regular appearances. Visit at sunset for striking skies.
Surfing at Praia de Alvor
Fed by the Atlantic Ocean, the Algarve region is known for its impressive surf, and Alvor is no exception. With several surf schools in the area, beginners and advanced surfers alike can hire all the necessary gear and head for the waves. Serious thrill-seekers can also try their hand at kite-surfing. The beach itself is clean and unspoiled, dotted with a couple of beach bars if you’re more of a spectator.
Benagil Sea Cave
Starting from the riverfront in Alvor, many operators offer boat trips to explore the stunning Benagil Sea Cave. The natural rock formations offer some of the most incredible views, and photo opportunities, in the Algarve, with clear turquoise waters contrasting with jagged sandstone. Exploring by boat takes you close enough to swim into Portugal’s most famous cave. You can also hire a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and explore the caves and coastline at your own pace.
