A long and beautiful beach flanked by spectacular cliffs, it sure makes for a great walk...at the end (or the beginning, depending on your starting point) there's also a viewpoint, accessible by wooden steps, simply amazing!

There are two nice beaches in Guia, Laurenco and Gale. Laurenco has beautiful cliffs but little parking and this year the water was high so you couldn’t really stay on the beach most days. Gale on the other hand is much more developed, with more parking and a restaurant. Access is easy to the beach with few steps but you can walk to the east along the beach and get some shelter in beautiful cliffs.

Small beach, hidden behind the hills, just outside Albufeira. Hard to get without car. Small, great soft sand, and some interesting rock cliffs. Couple arches, visible at low tide, and nice panoramic view from the top.

Overall Ratings

The name "Olhos d'Agua" is derived from various underwater freshwater springs that flow into the sea, along the beach, the sand and rocks. Only visible when it is low tide.These famous "olheiros" gave the town its name. A phenomenon of rare beauty and a major tourist attraction. Here settled Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, who practiced fishing and developed salting and drying of fish. It is a tradition go to olheiros and taste the water.
