I am an older, single female looking to spend mid-September to mid-October 2026 in a rental. I will not have a car so would like to be walkable to the beach and town. What cities should I research?

Lagos is very nice. Large enough for plenty to do. Beaches close to town. I would start there with research.
Faro is larger, but can’t speak to it. Tavira might also be a possibility.

Tavira is at least a 20 minute walk PLUS a ferry ride to reach the actual beach. A lot of the places from Faro eastwards are like this.
