Praia Albufeira - [ Ссылка ]
Otherwise known as Praia do Peneco, this is an extension of the famous Fishermans beach (Praia da Pescadores) that fronts the tourist resort of Albufeira Old Town. The views around this area are spectacular and visitors enjoy the raised promenade that skirts the cliff top and winds towards the main town square, from here the views are spectacular and on a clear day you can see all the way to Faro in the east. The rock formations on the beach and the surrounding cliffs are very dramatic and recently has seen the arrival of a state-of-the-art glass elevator to ensure excellent access for everyone. This beach gets very busy during the summer and the walk from the town square is through a tunnel in the rock that opens out at the front of the beach. Here you will also find a couple of good restaurants with huge barbeques that grill delicious fresh fish and meat to perfection. The facilities here are good, but parking is difficult and we recommend that you park at the back of the town and enjoy the walk through the cobbled streets to get to the sands.
