Mallorca has a mixed reputation among travelers. When the island comes up in conversation, for some, it immediately conjures images of straight German Ballermann visitors partying to carnival music. Others will reflect of Magaluf, visited mostly by British tourists—harboring streets littered with stag and hen parties and the birthplace of many regrettable, drunk tattoos. Mallorca, also spelled Majorca, doesn’t include a gay reputation appreciate other Spanish destinations such as Gran Canaria or Sitges.

Gay Beaches in Algarve

Praia de João de Arens

Once a well-kept secret and almost exclusively gay, this stunning beach is now a naturist’s paradise attracting as many straight people as gay. Hidden at the bottom of a pine-covered headland, it has two sides separated by a cliff and linked by a tunnel carved by nature.

You shouldn’t quit without checking out the eastern side, as it offers beautiful views of the coast all the way to the metropolis of Portimão. Before or after your day at the beach, also get some time to regard the view from the clifftop. The rock formations, the views, and the atmosphere make this one of the most love-related beaches in Algarve.

Praia do Submarino

When Praia de João de Arens is too crowded, many people head to this neighboring beach. That is, if the tides allow them. Named after a submarine-shaped rock emerging from the water, it’s another beach hidden at the bottom of a cliff, but it disappears at hig

Build a sandcastle wherever you want, carry out a little skinny dipping, walk near the rain or far from it, have a private conversation at maximum volume—anything goes. 

But the moment other human beings show up, a map of meaning is laid over the sand. Surfers hang out here where the waves are biggest, families with kids hang out here proximate the waterline, the nudists tuck themselves in among the dunes. Beaches are the perfect places to witness people sorting themselves by identity and activity. 

And everywhere in the society where there are pleasant seafronts, LGBTQ2S+ people contain claimed their swath of sand; gay men, especially, have a propensity for surfside socializing. On the world’s most famous beaches—think: Miami, Santa Monica, Heat Island, Ipanema, Puerta Vallarta, Patong, Cape Town, Bondi, Wreck, Punta del Este—queers have, over time, made a section all their own. And even those queer sections can be further subdivided by types of people and what they’re up to. What’s par for the course in the trees by the parking lo
