Between golden cliffs and crystal-clear waters, there are still corners of the Algarve that remain far from the tourist trails. This small beach, accessible only by little-known paths or by sea, is one of those well-kept secrets. Ideal for those seeking tranquility, nature in its purest form, and almost untouched beauty, this is a discovery that promises to change the way you see the Algarve.

If you think you've explored all the hidden wonders of the Algarve, maybe it's time to rethink your plans. Praia das Fontainhas, located near Armação de Pêra, is a true hidden treasure that continues to stay off the more touristy routes — and that's a good thing!

With fine golden sand, crystal-clear water, and, most surprisingly, few visitors, this beach is a little paradise for those looking for peace, nature, and a practically untouched landscape. It's one of those places that seem to come straight out of a postcard — but without the usual crowds.

The suggestion was shared on the Instagram account @mileswithmi, known for sharing vacation tips and dream destinations. Seeing the images and descriptions, it's hard to resist the urge to discover this Algarve corner for yourself.

If you appreciate quiet places, surrounded by impressive cliffs and where the sound of the sea is the only background noise, Praia das Fontainhas might just become your new favorite beach.

Useful tip: The access isn't the most straightforward — perhaps that's why the place remains so preserved. Bring comfortable shoes, water, and don't forget to respect and preserve the environment.
