Lovely place, beautiful cliffs, after season it's almost unoccupied. At the camping there is a restaurant if you want to go for a lunch

Maybe the most beautiful beach in Portugal. We have been lucky enough to discover this lovely little, yet very empty beach. The nature is simply stunning as you can see on all the pictures. After a small hike down the red cliffs a lovely beach bar is waiting for you, to serve you drinks and great food throughout the day. Prices are not low, but the quality is very high and worth the money. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas as well. Toiletts and showers are super well maintained!
The access is a bit of an adventure but easily done. Park outside the camping area and you will get at the entrance a day pass to access the beach. Was no problem with speaking English. After a little walk across the camp site, you come to the entrance of the beach which you cannot miss. It is not made to bring a stroller or so, but manageable, yet not completely easy with kids.

Lovely place and waves. Difficult to arrive caused by the ramp. Strongly recommended

It is worth it
Beautiful! My friends and I parked the camper at the entrance of the parking lot (5 minutes walk from the beach) and went to watch the sunset.There were, apart from us, maybe 5 people; it was a shame that it was very ventilated and we could not swim (the current was quite strong).

Excellent, Praia da Galé
Very nice and clean beach, with good infrastructure with bathrooms and great restaurant. Ample parking near the beach. You can rent a sunscreen with 2 loungers for €20, in our case it was indispensable because the sun was intense. For us it was the best beach to spend the day we visited in the area.

Praia da Galé, located a few kilometers from Albufeira, is one of the most fascinating beaches in the Algarve to watch the sunset. Wide, quiet and surrounded by striking rock formations, it offers breathtaking scenery when the sun begins to set over the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean.The landscape c…

Beautiful beach a few kilometers from Albufeira
Beautiful beach in the west of Albufeira. There is plenty of free parking. Well served by bars and restaurants. There is the possibility to rent deck chairs and umbrellas at a good price. Here too, watch out for the afternoon high tide. So if you have the vs umbrella and go to the free beach put yo…
