The Praia da Alagoa is a sandy beach in the Portuguese community ( Freguesia ) of Altura , county Castro Marim , in the Algarve .
The beach, also known as Praia de Altura, is part of the coastal section Baía de Monte Gordo (German: Bay of Monte Gordo) and borders on Praia da Lota in the west and Praia Verde in the east . In 2012 it was awarded by the Portuguese environmental organization Quercus for its unpolluted, natural water quality.
