In the year 2011 saw many beaches in Portugal and Algarve giving far more access for those who are disabled or have mobility difficulties, many have now had wooden decking walkways,which are wheelchair friendly, however caution is needed with some as safety hand rails have not been installed in all , don’t be put off of going to a beach because postcard show it with rocks as some of the rockiest looking have wooden decking right down to the beach itself, Alvor has to be one of the Algarve biggest dedicated parking and access for disabled (photo on the right shows Bordeira beach access under disrepair photo taken 2011)

We hope to update this page in due course with new information on disabled beach information
