Emergency services rushed round to the popular party resort at around 4.30am on Tuesday morning.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
They were both friends from the UK in their late 20s, according to local media.
Police are now said to be working on the theory the pair got into difficulties because they had been drinking and didn't know how to swim.
Portugal's Policia Judiciaria have been asked by colleagues at the GNR police force to investigate the circumstances surrounding the men's deaths.
They are not being treated as suspicious at this stage.
