In Albufeira's new town (the strip side) you have the amazing Praia da Oura. This is the beach for the party crowd. Featuring a crystal-clear ocean, several places to eat and drink and little shops to get your beach essentials. If you take a wander up the hill towards the strip, you'll pass a subway, Italian, yet another shop and the one and only free fall. If you're also on the hunt for something refreshing to cool you down, you'll find a slush shack and ice cream hut on this road too.
