Praia da Falesia

Reviewed By belgianguy1 - Bruges, Belgium

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!

Praia da Luz

Reviewed By johnbR2641RL - Soham, United Kingdom

Have been coming to Luz for 15 years and never tire of it. The beach is great for children and adults alike, water sports hire etc. There are plenty of restaurants and cafe's which make Luz an all round great holiday destination. Can't wait to be back there.

Praia Gale

Reviewed By Lesterbeach - Winnipeg, Canada

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.

Praia Da Rocha

Reviewed By 80marines - Wirral, United Kingdom

First time here and we were pleasantly surprised by everything, the beach which is huge and clean, the atmosphere which is relaxed, and we enjoyed our 4 days there, the only point would be the climb, 96 steps, up to the road level, Albufeira have sorted it out with an escalator why not here ? apart from that the top level goes from quiet to busy areas there is plenty to see and do for most tastes, the beach level boardwalk is a must as are is the cliff views, we stayed at the Marina and again what a lovely place scenic and always something happening, so we would return without a doubt and there are plenty of end of season deals with accommodation.
