Setting

To the west of Albufeira centre sits Albufeira's colourful marina. It's a great spot this for passing a lazy afternoon watching people and boats, and sipping coffees or a beer from one of the many chic coffee shops come bars lining the marina. You can tell considerable effort, and investment, has gone into Albufeira Marina. It's beautifully colourful, with dolphin sculptures and more. There's a yacht club here, plus shops, and various boat trips depart from the marina.

Activities and attractions

Albufeira's best feature (although the new Albufeira Marina comes a close second) is its breathtaking sandy beaches - over 20 glorious beaches are here, each with a slightly different character due largely to the distinctive rock formations lining the Albufeira coast. Praia da Oura tops the Albufeira beach chart to the east of old town Albufeira, whilst to the west sits the sublime Praia da Gale - endless sands with fascinating rock formations unique to the Algarve coastline and superb sunsets are here at quieter Gale beach. Gale beach is so long there's an east and west Gale. To the east charming small beach bays are created naturally by rock formations, whereas to the west of Gale beach there are less rock formations, just endless golden sands. It's quieter here away from central Albufeira beaches and Gale is a blue flag Albufeira beach.

In between Gale Beach to the West of Albufeira and Oura Beach to the east you've Praia Manuel Lourenco just adjacent to Gale beach. Like Gale this Albufeira beach is a blue flag beach and nice and quiet, but you've less rocks here, although enough for a good round of rock pooling with the kids. Next down the coast towards Albufeira centre is Praia do Evaristo near the Casa do Castelo top notch club. Much like Manuel Lourenco beach, Evaristo is relatively quiet and also a blue flag beach.
