Finding The Secret Bar Lift

Despite coming to Casa Jovic each year and despite visiting Alvor beach every time we do so, there's been one place that has eluded us - That is until this week! We had heard tales of a lift down to the beach bar at Alvor, but we could never find the place. This week, in beautiful sunshine and with plenty of time to spare, we resolved to find it.  From the main road between Alvor and Praia do Vau, on the West side of Alvor beach, you look for signs to Caniço Restaurant. You'll have to park and walk as much of the area is a private resort. Not only is it a beautiful restaurant, but behind it is a secluded lift down to the beach bar. But first you encounter what must be one of the most beautiful views in The Algarve. I would apologise for the number of photos, but it's hard to take it all in with just one picture. The bar is well worth a visit, but be prepared for hordes of people during the summer as it's really popular. You can also reach the bar, when the tide is out, from Alvor beach. But then you don't get that view!
