The seaboard of the Algarve in southern Portugal is an amazing cluster of some of Europe's finest shorelines. They are fabulous extends of sand: the ambience Mediterranean, yet this is the Atlantic so great waves and water sports proliferate on the coast. Here's our random pick of the 3 most enigmatic of them.

This long stretch of sand 10km east of Albufeira offers one of the area's most iconic sights of the coast as you scramble down from the cliff-top parking. It's guarded by dramatic precipices in white and a few shades of ochre, carved into captivating shapes by the weather and are shrouded in pines. The zones close to the parking gets swarmed in summer (particularly as high tides cover a great part of the shoreline), yet the strip is more  than 3km long so its sufficiently simple to discover a vacant corner all to yourself. It's a decent shoreline for walking, the cliffs frequently change hues and shapes and there's an astonishing expanse of coastal plants in the splits and hole.

Forlorn and stunning, this crescent-shaped spit of sand is separated from the terrain by an estuary. It can be come to by strolling two or three kilometers west from the shoreline at Manta Rota, or by boarding a pontoon over the estuary from Fabrica, close to the picturesque town of Cacela Velha. It's maybe the slightest swarmed of all the Algarve shorelines, so there's a lot of space to think about the everlasting, pace the promenades to contemplate the sands or swim in the waters, where a shallow slant makes it warm.

One of the remoter west drift shorelines, this is a long, wide and heavenly stretch of whitish sand with an ethereal delight, upheld by stratified bluffs misty in the sea breeze. It lies 15km northwest of Carrapateira and is reached by a rugged, unpaved street toward the end of which you won't find any kiosks. The shoreline confronts west and has really solid surf, particularly when a southeaster is blowing. It's one of those forlorn, exotic shorelines that is great to walk around even when the climate is frightful.
