<p>Probably Albufeira's most famous beach, Fishermans beach or Praia dos Pescadores in Portuguese takes its name from the original industry that used to run this small town before tourism arrived in the 1960s. Hundreds of boats could be found pulled onto this beach and each morning at sunset they would set sail to bring home their catch to sell at Albufeira's once busy fish market. Now the fishing boats have been replaced by beach beds and beach bars and at sunrise, you can join the throng of tourists who walk, run and jog along the golden sand all year round.</p> Fishermans Beach

<p>Oura Beach is the main beach in the centre of Albufeira New town and serves the area closest to the strip in Areias do Sao Joao. If you're on a stag, hen or group weekend it is likely this will be your go-to beach and it will not disappoint, the beach itself is almost half a kilometre long and covered in perfect smooth fine sand along with the beach bed hire one of our partners provides all the beach watersports you could ever wish including jet ski hire, banana boat rides, waterskiing, parasailing and even the incredible flyboarding experience.</p> <p>Now if watersports aren't your thing don't worry Oura beach or Praia da Oura in Portuguese, have all the other bases covered, where the town meets the beach you will find a long line of beach bars, restaurants, shops and cafes where you can sip cocktails, down a few pints and catch a football match on a widescreen tv all within touching distance of the sun, sea and sand.</p> <p>If you're on more of a sedate trip to Albufeira the beach is actually split in two by a large rocky outcrop that makes our coastline famous throughout the world, when the tide is low, you can check the <a href="https://www.tide-forecast.com/locations/Albufeira/tides/latest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Albufeira tides</a> here, you can walk around the rocks and there you will find Oura Beach East or Praia da Oura Leste. The eastern section of the beach is again almost 500 metres long and is dotted with beach bars and sunbeds and makes for a perfect early morning or sunset walk</p> Oura Beach

<p>Gale beach or Praia da Gale can be found to the west of Albufeira and if you are looking for wide-open huge beaches with miles and limes of sand, rocks and caves to explore, this is the beach for you. A short transfer from Albufeira centre, just past the marina, the coastline of the Algarve starts to break up into private coves, secluded beaches and inlets that have been seen on postcards of the Algarve since the first tourists arrived. Then just as you think that all the beaches are small and hardly accessible at high tide the coast suddenly opens up to a huge expanse of sand that stretches literally for miles.</p> Gale Beach

<p>Falesia Beach is a wild and natural beach that is quite honestly, massive. It begins in the Barranco das Belharucas Beach which is just to the East of Oura Beach in Albufeira and runs for almost 7 uninterrupted kilometres all the way to Vilamoura and only ends there because of the entrance to Vilamoura Marina. At its furthest point just before Vilamoura Marina, the beach ends with a row of incredible beach bars none more so than the very last one Thai Beach.</p> Falesia Beach

<p>Faro, capital city of the Algarve, offers so much more than just a landing point in Portugal. It is a city full of history, great shops, restaurants and cafes aplenty, theatres and galleries, great beaches and the Ria Formosa nature reserve on the door step. The central area is really quite compact with everything within easy walking distance. Outside of the Cidade Velha, following the water front around the corner from Faro marina, is Porta Nova pier where you can get a ferry to the ilha beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride through the Ria Formosa - about a 30 minute trip each way - gently pottering through the calm waters in between the marshy outcrops, spotting a few birds along the way and generally watching the world go by. Also a chance to get another view of Faro - from the seaward side.</p> Faro Marina Beach
