A beautiful beach, but not quiet, full of Instagrammers and "alone in the world" selfies 😅 ...
The water is nevertheless crystal clear, with a beautiful hidden secret, a cave access to another smaller beach: Praia de Estaquinha ... accessible only at low tide!
Also a superb view of the Arco de Albandeira.

An absolutely wonderful place, apart from the crowd.

If you want to cliff walk or sea kayak - get up and go early before the hoards.

Beautiful pair of beaches in a small cove. Clear water and fine sand. Lifeguards on duty and a small beach bar.
Amazing rock arch in the next bay

Beautiful calm beach without many people especially in the morning. Around 13:00 it started to become busy. The beach is divided in two sections by a big rock. The water is relatively calm and the temperature is good. Close to the beach there is the possibility to park. Also there is a stand selling food and the way to the beach is paved until the sand which is perfect. There are many boats passing by the beach which is enjoyable to look at. Also there are two natural lagoons in the rock on the centre. Two third of the beach is relatively safe for falling rocks and collapsing cliffs.

This beach goes so hard like no joke one of the calmest and prettiest beaches we went to in faro. Plenty of caves to explore when the tide is low and smooth sand! No cell service in the area. The caves are very cool.

A beautiful walk
My husband and I walked from our apartment along the coast and just as I was getting very hot, thirsty and hungry, like a mirage, the Hulala van appeared at Albandeira. The pastel de natas were the best we’ve had, and the smoothies were delicious. We carried on walking to Praia da Marina, turned ar…

Great beach, creperie and kayaking
There are three beaches in th coves, each of which is quite small, but all are beautiful with good swimming but limited shade.There is a small car park with picnic tables above the beach from which steps lead down to the two eastern beaches. In the high season there is a bar at the top of the step…

Maybe we were unlucky
Potentially very nice, but too much algae, dirty water (not x algae), lots of people. Cute and cute baretto , pizza from 15 euros salads from 12 . Maybe to try again in another period

A palette of colors!
Pleasant for a stop to discover this beautiful stretch of the Algarvian coast. The natural arch adjacent to it is impressive. Walking east, there are little-known coves, reachable only by sea, which will amaze you with their palette of colours.
