Praia do Ninho da Andorinha is formed behind a large rock opening to the sea, forming a kind of natural pool with calm waters. It is not an official beach, so there are no lifeguards. Sometimes access is blocked.

Coelha Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful bay with two beaches. Parking is 300m above. There is a beach bar and some loungers with umbrellas. Water access is not rocky! Rocks are deeper in the water, so they don't bother you. Water was clear & clean 🍻☀️🌊🐚👙🏖️🩳

Praia do Castelo Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Praia do Castelo is a small sandy beach protected by large rocks. The conditions for swimming are very good and you will also find a restaurant right on the beach.

Praia de Manuel Lourenço

Highlight • Beach

The sand area is smaller than on the beaches to the west, but the terrain is made more varied by the numerous tiny coves and ramparts created by the winding and highly jagged rock formations. The shapes are capricious due to the weathering and wear of the rock, especially in the west. To the east there is a rock platform where, at low tide, you can see various sea creatures in the strip formed by the tides. Snorkeling is also a special pleasure here.

January 23, 2025,Portugal: Toller Abschluss... Strände von Albufeira

This is how you imagine the Algarve. The weather on our last day was pleasant with some blue skies and a little sunshine. The rock formations on the coast of Albufeira are unique. Each rock is an eye-catcher in its own right. It was wonderful 😍.
