Okay, which is it? Sixth best as reported in this publication on Feb 18, or "the best" as reported on Feb 26? Either way, as beautiful as the Portuguese beaches are, the water here is awfully cold compared to some of the other beaches mentioned. And what about the clean, Crystal waters and clean beaches of Costa Rica? The water there is warmer in the winter than in the Slgarve during the summer. I think the cold water of Portugal's water is its best kept secret. Brrrrrrr.

Why?, it is the most boring beach on Algarve- Tres Irmaos at Alvor leading onto Praia Grande is far more spectacular and many user facilities
