Latest reviews on Almodovar's beaches

Praia de Quarteira
9 Pedro S

Fantastic beach. Good access. Its one from a string of beaches, all with good quality sand, generally little to no currents. The promenade, more than just access, makes for a great walk in the morning, afternoon or evening. Food-wise, there are many restaurants to choose from. Many hidden gems just 200-500m away from the beach. It can be busy in the height of summer and same goes for parking. At first glance the town can seem its just the beaches, but it offers a extraordinary base for so much more. I grew up there and still is one of my prime spots around the world and can't but keep coming back.

Praia de Vilamoura

While not the most picturesque beach in the vicinity, it offers stunning vistas of the coastline. It appears that one can stroll endlessly in the direction of Faro.

Praia do Ancao

What a delightful season to visit this stunning beach. It's the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll with minimal crowds. The scenery is simply breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and soft sand that stretches as far as the eye can see.

Praia da Oura

This beach is stunning! It's not huge, but there are plenty of beds and spots to choose from. The sand is golden, the waves are quite big, and the water is crystal clear and delightfully chilly. Plus, there are restaurants and shops right on the beach. In my opinion, this is the best and most beautiful beach in Albufeira. It's the perfect place for a day at the beach and I highly recommend visiting at least once. For those looking for a bit more excitement, there's a path along the cliffs, so it really has something for everyone.

Ilha da Culatra
10 Luna Palm

This beach is a hidden gem that is definitely worth the 20-minute stroll on the boardwalk to get there. While the food and drink options are limited, there are water sports and equipment rental booths available. However, the real attraction is the pristine yellow sand and the soothing sound of the cold blue water gently washing up on the shore. It's a perfect destination for those who love to bask in the sun.
