    Beautiful long sandy beach with lots of space and at an extra cost sunbeds. Theirs also a cafe restaurant. Definitely one of the best beaches along here. Easy to get to from olhos agua along the road past hotels then down the footpath or you could take the scenic walk along the cliff path which is a bit more challenging.

    The beach is beautiful and the elevated walks around it are picturesque. A perfect place for a picnic. Please hit that like 👍

    Beautiful beach and not crowded. There is a cafe on the beach with toilet. Lovely golden sand and if you walk up the hill you can get a beautiful view with pink flowers, cactus and blue sea.

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent beach with wonderful ocher and yellow colors, cliffs with deep caves. Club Med has a large, very quiet private beach! (Original) Magnifique plage aux couleurs ocre et jaunes merveilleuses, des falaises avec des grottes profondes. Le Club Med y a une grande plage privée très calme !

    This is the place you work all year for. Lots of lovely sand for all the family to get together on and enjoy you well earned break. Stunning scenery and a lovely chilled out vibe make this our happy place.

    Wonderful beach. Deserted on Christmas eve. The sound of the waves breaking on the shore was intense yet calming.

    Amazing place. Be careful as sand or rocks may fall from the cliffs.

    Great beach with very astute lifeguards on duty . Sunloungers are €20 for two plus shade and there are facilities at the café including showers for €1 . In the school holidays I would imagine it gets very busy so get there early. Good coffee available to take to the beach and the calmest water I have found over the last 10 days . There is a restaurant too which looked nice and the beach was being cleaned when we arrived which was great. Nice to walk along the beach to the rock pools / beach caves . Watersports available but not in your face like some places . Parking available near Club Med ( not in their car park though !) and a short walk downhill to the beach .

    Lovely little beach. Clean. We spent hours just chilling. Dramatic coastline, great for photographers. There's a small bar with friendly staff. Prices were reasonable.

  • 5/5 PCRato06 2 years ago on Google
    It's an incredible beach with quite warm water! It hosts life guard oversight and a restaurant. It's usually also pretty uncrowded. Watch out for the cliffs tho! Take them seriously.

    Calm and peaceful villa with a great pool and 5min walk from the astonishing beach. Loved it!

  • 4/5 Christina H. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice quiet beach with a nice restaurant. However, it cost 20 Euro for two sunbeds and the shower is not working. There is not even a cold shower that you can wash.

  • 4/5 Alan J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean no rubbish safe place very enjoyable

  • 2/5 David H. 11 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, Club Med has almost annexed use of this beach, barriers, and security personnel leading to the beach. Must have been beautiful in the past.

  • 5/5 Aisling O. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful sandy beach with loads of space. We just set up on our towels but there were lots of loungers available for those who don't want to deal with the sand! Not sure but I'd assume there's a charge for them. Only a short 8 min walk from the Balaia Mar Hotel where we were staying. Maybe a bit difficult for people to get up and down the hill if they have a pram or wheelchair.

  • 4/5 Rachael H. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice beach, very busy, but Summer holidays so to be expected. Steep steps down, and a hill on the other side, so wouldn’t recommend if you have a walking mobility. Nice seafood restaurant, and a few shops. Very nice.

  • 4/5 Luc 11 months ago on Google
    Compared to other options in the same area, this beach is rather small and hard to find. When we went there was a lot of seaweed. The view was great though and there is a small pub on the beach.

    Beautiful uncrowded beach....Great restaurant/bar e joyed cocktails and lunch. Steep walk back up the hill to the main road!

  • 5/5 Vinny M. 2 years ago on Google
    A Fantastic beach that not only has amazing views of the sea, but is also extremely large and it goes on for miles. The cliffs overlooking the beach are also beautiful and make the beach really unique, where you can take some amazing pictures too.

  • 5/5 Simon 11 months ago on Google
    Just the perfect location right on the beach. Very friendly staff and great food. There were no vegan options, but the chef made a special meal. Wonderful experience.

  • 4/5 Blaž U. 1 year ago on Google
    I wouldn't say that this is one of my favourite beaches in Algarve but it's smaller and still beautiful enaugh for a short visit 👍 be careful because you can't access the beach with the car ...

  • 5/5 rad p. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best in that area... Great for swimming in the sea and sun bathing until late... Spectacular views and rocks and perfect sunsets... The only down side is that at times can be crowded.

  • 5/5 Pavel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice beach, in my opinion it's the beast in the area

  • 4/5 Craig S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent little beach and nice bar. Good food and drinks, lovely view.

  • 4/5 Mike W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely beach, with its mini caves, and golden sand. There is only one restaurant on this beach, and a couple of other businesses. They JCB the beach regularly, leaving tred marks everywhere. It's a steep walk back up to street level, like most beaches in this area.

  • 5/5 Maxim V. 3 years ago on Google
    Это первый пляж куда я попал приехав в Португалию. Мы приехали ночью и я даже не представлял какая здесь природа и какие пляжи. Так получилось что мы с семьей приехали спонтанно и случайно, совсем не выбирали место, нас пригласили знакомые по делу. Так вот на следующий день я сильно удивился когда попал на пляж, я просто был шокирован, я совсем не ожидал такого красивого пляжа!) Я и представить не мог что здесь так красиво, мы живем последние три года в Испании и я думал что здесь примерно так же, но это совсем другой уровень! Песок просто волшебный, красивый, крупный, приятный. Рельеф берега неописуемой красоты, создаёт такой уют. В общем мне очень понравился пляж, мы отдыхаем с детьми, все очень довольны! Я так рад что побывал здесь!

    There's nothing spectacularly different about the beach except for its access. You must park five minutes' walk away, uphill, after finding a space on the street, and this deters those with mobility challenges and large amounts of beach gear. The upshot is a much quieter beach, although it will still be busy peak season. It has a lifeguard and good beach bar / restaurant.

    (Translated by Google) Basically nice beach and nice beach bar. Big drawback when you are out with the children, the numerous cigarette stubs in the sand and sometimes the smell of cold smoke when you dig in the sand (Original) Grundsätzlich schöner Strand und nette Beachbar. Großes Manko, wenn man mit der Kinder unterwegs ist, die zahlreichen Zigarettenstummel im Sand und teilweise der Geruch nach kaltem Rauch, wenn man im Sand buddelt
