There
are a wide variety of beaches from long sandy beaches to unspoilt secluded
coves and even the most popular rarely become overcrowded even in the
height of season.
Gale beach - reputedly the longest sandy beach on
the Algarve, two minutes by car from the Quinta da Saudade.
Coelho beach - consisting of one small sandy bay,
affording greater privacy. Well worth a visit, with only a two minute
drive plus a five minute walk to find this gem. The beach side restaurant
is also highly recommended.
Lourenco beach - a sandy beach with many secluded
rocky outcrops, again only two minutes away.
