Portugal Praia da Arrifana, Western Algarve

Praia da Arrifana is a surfing paradise. It is an incredible pleasure to watch the surfers in the waves or out of the water as they prepare. If you want to go for a swim here, you should be aware of the current and nearby rocks. A number of small restaurants above the beach invite you to enjoy a delicious fish dinner. There are also a few vacation homes with a direct view of the beach, which you can rent and can be seen here in the picture.

Have more than one cleaning cloth with you to always wipe away the salty gout from the lens. You can also use a simple UV filter to completely protect the glass from grains of sand and small scratches.

Come early or well before sunset to get a parking space above the beach. Then you only have a 10-minute walk down to the beach. You will find a small path leading from the road to the photo spot. At lunchtime, you'll need a lot of luck to get a free slot.
