The small beach of Praia do Castelo is located on the wonderful stretch of coast between Albufeira and Armação de Pêra (about 6km from the former). There are a number of small bays along the several kilometres of coast here, all of which have the same ochre coloured sandstone cliffs eroded into various rock formations; some more fantastical than others. Whilst Praia do Castelo cannot boast any rock arches or sea stacks it is all the same a very pleasant spot offering everything an Algarve beach should. The water is crystal clear and there are lifeguards here in the summer months making it a great spot for snorkelling and swimming.

This feels like a hidden beach, set between massive cliffs. A beautiful spot and not as crowded as Galé and São Rafael Beach. It can be good to know that there is a 5min walk from the car park to the beach.

To get to Coelha Beach involves a short walk along a footpath through assorted greenery. This beach is a popular spot with locals and is often relatively quiet during the week. There are plenty of facilities such as sun loungers, parasols, toilets, showers and a cafe right on the beach.
