Albufeira is one of Portugal's most popular holiday resorts due to the amazing beaches in the area. Miles and miles of sandy beach and clear waters make for the perfect beach holiday! The beach of Praia dos Pescadores is the largest and busiest beach with a huge range of water sports available including wind surfing and plenty of places to eat and drink lining the promenade.
Families looking for a quieter alternative will enjoy the Coelha beach while those looking for dramatic scenery should head to Soa Rafael and Vigia beaches where you can see the stunning rock formations.
There are plenty of things to do in Albufeira away from the beach too. You can swim with dolphins at the Zoomarine centre which is an experience not to be missed or you can explore the Paderne Castle. This is also a good place to shop with plenty of souvenir shops as well as a regular flea market. On an Evening the Strip is the place to be with a great choice of restaurants, bars and clubs.
