The main pride of Albufeira is its dozens of beautiful beaches. Conditionally all this variety can be divided into two groups - beaches within the city and beaches in the neighborhood. All beaches are very clean, for 10-30 EUR per day you can rent a sunbed and umbrella, equipped with changing rooms and toilets. Which beach in Albufeira is better, decide for yourself..
One of the most famous is the Falesia beach below the city, which is one of the top 25 beaches in Europe. Here is fine sand, the width of the coastline is up to 20 meters, the entrance to the sea is gentle. Relatively uncrowded, it is perfect for a vacation with small children in Albufeira, as the water is shallow and warms up quickly.
There are Praia dos Pescadores (Fisherman's Beach) and Praia do Túnel (Tunnel Beach) within the town. The first beach is famous for its many cafes and taverns with fish menus, as well as its many moored boats (you can go on boat trips from here). Praia do Túnel is a beach that can only be accessed from the Old Town through a tunnel between the cliffs.
The closest beach to the party neighborhoods of Areias de São João and Montechoro is Oura.
The rocky beach of Evaristo (where you can sunbathe on large boulders at the entrance to the water) is popular with divers (snorkeling is also very popular). Here you can see all kinds of marine life: squid, shrimps, fish, crustaceans, etc. in the immediate vicinity of the shore.
One of the most picturesque beaches in the resort is Praia São Rafael. The water and winds have created rocks of the most bizarre "alien" shapes - be sure to come here for the colorful pictures!
