Alvor is a surf beach in Portimão / Alvor, Portugal.
Alvor welcomes surfers of different levels, from beginner to more experienced, depending on the sea state.
The bottom is sand. It is the most forgiving bottom for learning and for wipeouts, though the sandbanks shift through the year.
Alvor is a fairly sheltered beach: it needs a bigger swell or a specific direction to break well. It is usually best with swell from S-SW. The beach faces South.
