The beach in this area is a true gem, with a breathtaking coastline and stunning rock formations that create a secluded and peaceful atmosphere. Walking along the coast path in either direction is a true delight, with a picturesque and well-maintained surface that makes for a truly enjoyable experience. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful spot to spend a day soaking up the sun and enjoying the natural beauty of the world around us.

Praia de Albandeira is a must-visit spot for nature lovers in the area. We visited in June 2021 on our way from Sagres to Estoi and found it to be easily accessible. Just be mindful of oncoming traffic as the road leading to the beach gradually narrows from the main road (N125).
