BEWARE! If arriving by car, and have parked near by or at the small car park next to Estr. de Albandeira, DO NOT LEAVE ANY IMPORTANT BELONGINGS IN THE CAR!! THIS AREA IS NOTORIOUS FOR CAR BREAK INS. My friends and I parked here and went for a walk, we were only gone for an hour and all our stuff was taken. (All of our belongings were in the boot, out of sight. And our car was parked back into a bush. But they still broken in through the small wing-mirror window on the driver's door to unlock it, and then climbed through the back to unlatch the back seats and take all our bags. We had already checked out of our airbnb, so we didn't have anywhere else to store our belongings.) But the beach is nice, but not in a good condition for swimming, on the day we visited. Too much seaweed on the rocks for us to reach the water.

Walk a bit from the parking lots and end up at this small lovely beach. Far less crowded than some other beaches in the neighborhood.

Great little beach, quite isolated with no car park so we didn't see many people. It was the closest to our rented villa for the week.

Got to this beach via a boat trip. The sand was very nice and soft. The sea was very rocky at this part but if you wear sea shoes it is fine.

Beautiful. Off the beaten track. Well worth a look. Not much beach at high tide.
