Praia dos Arrifes is a beach on the Atlantic south coast of the Algarve, close to the village resort of Sesmarias which is within the Municipality of Albufeira, Portugal.

[6] This because of the location of three large isolated rock formations which dominate the line of the horizon from the beach.

The tops of the formations are dotted with plants resistant to salt spray, such as Wormleaf Saltwort and Rock Samphire, which survive and grow on the rocks because the tops are well above the high tide level.

To reach the sands there are a set of wooden steps from the parking area making access to this beach difficult for the disabled.

Whilst on this beach it is advised to take caution when near the base of the cliffs as there is a danger of falling rocks and stones from above.
