Praia da Falésia

Amazing beach, the sand is white and soft and the rocks just make for a phenomenal view! We went here in November and it was still warm with only few people around. To get down to the beach you have to walk down a longer set of wooden stairs.

Very popular beach which still has some private areas, can be tricky to get to by public transport (you need to walk around half an hour from the nearest stop but it’s worth it). Stunning views on top of the cliff (you need to be careful as it’s very steep in some points). They have areas with a few beach cafes that serve drinks but if you go further you can find more isolated areas to relax in

Beautiful, long, wide beach. One of the highlights of our holiday. There was a small snack bar with toilets at street level but we did not eat there.

In mid-November there was not much life on this marvellous beach as we took a long walk. But the red-coloured cliffs were magnificent and it was amusing to see the playful birds, like the Ruddy Turnstones, Yellow-legged Gulls and a solitary Kestrel along the beach. We didn't have the strength to walk all the 5 km from Olhos d'Agua to Vilamoura, but what we saw was fantastic. There is a well-prepared footpath on the top of the cliffs above the beach, giving lovely views of the beach and beyond.

Beautiful beach with soft orange sand, amazing cliffs which stretch for a few kilometres, plenty of space even on busy days. Waves can be a little strong but when tide is out it is safe enough for young children to play in sea. We found the sea to feel slightly cold even in August but bearable as you can warm up in the sun. Beach stretches from Olhos de Agua to Villamora marina.

Amazing, clean and peaceful, February time is pretty warm.

Advantages: Gorgeous beach, long enough not to be crowded if you dont mind walking a bit, best sunset view.
downside: tough to park & water was blurry and full of seaweed yesterday (which is a gamble anywhere in algarve)

Great walk with amazing sights and fosil imprints in stones. Truly amazing.

Amazing beach, it’s stunning. The colours of the sand and the steep landscape makes it perfect for photos. The beach is really long so if you walk there will be enough space to accommodate many people.

The vest beach and cliffs. watching the sunset is amazing. so many colours of the cliff. worth going. good waves to swim in

Beautiful beach by red cliffs. Clear turquoise water, medium sized waves when I was there. Clean sandy beach, uncrowded. Overall the prettiest beach I've been to in Portugal - Even better than the "best" Praia da Marinha.

I had the most wonderful time at Praia da Falésia! The beach's natural beauty left me in awe. The golden sand stretching for miles, framed by dramatic cliffs, created a breathtaking backdrop. The crystal-clear turquoise waters were perfect for swimming and refreshing dips. The beach was clean and well-maintained, with ample space to relax and soak up the sun. I also appreciated the facilities available, such as beach bars and restaurants, which offered tasty snacks and refreshing drinks. Whether you're seeking tranquility or outdoor activities, Praia da Falésia has it all. It's a true paradise that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Algarve region.

Great beach for children. Many shells. Waves just the right size. Sea a bit colder (18-22°C July/August)

Beautiful beach, looks different then the average beach.

Had a lovely day on this beach. It's not for those who aren't very mobile as there are lots of steps down to the beach. Beautiful views from the top and a very clean beach with gorgeous sand.

Great beach for the bucket list to go see and spend the afternoon. Find it a place to park and be challenging.

Great spot huge beach and beautiful sand cliffs !

The beach is very very beautiful, we had a fantastic walk on the cliffs and we all loved it so much.

Nice beach, love the walks along the ocean and the view of the rock formation is very interesting.

We recently visited this beach and were blown away by its beauty and overall experience. It ranks among the best sand beaches we've ever been to. The soft golden sand and pristine waters create a picturesque setting that is perfect for relaxation and enjoyment.

One of the highlights of our visit was the option to rent a lounger for the entire day at an incredibly reasonable price. For as low as 12 euros, we were able to secure a comfortable spot and spend the day in absolute comfort. It was definitely worth it, as we had a cozy place to relax, soak up the sun, and admire the breathtaking views.

The only minor drawback we noticed was the absence of public showers on the beach. After a refreshing dip in the sea, it would have been convenient to have access to showers to rinse off the sand and saltwater. Instead, we had to make our way back to the facilities, which left us feeling a bit squishy and sticky. This is something that the beach management could consider improving in the future.

That being said, the beach itself is truly amazing, offering a serene environment where you can spend a full day unwinding and enjoying the tranquility. Whether you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway or simply seeking a place to relax and chill, this beach is an excellent choice.

Overall, we highly recommend this beach for its natural beauty, affordable lounger rentals, and the opportunity to spend a full day in relaxation. Don't forget to bring your own towels and consider the lack of public showers, but aside from that, you're in for a fantastic beach experience.
