The area known as Gale is approximately 4km to the west of Albufeira Old Town and is known for stunningly beautiful ‘Blue Flag’ beaches. The beach is approximately 5km long with clean golden sand. Therefore even in the height of summer there is plenty of space to sunbathe. The beach is made up of soft sand and is safe for children. It has all the usual water sports one would expect in the summer time. However from November to March it is very quiet and you can walk west, along the Ocean edge, to Armação de Pêra. This walk is about 5km long passing soft sand dunes with the Nature reserve of Salgados on your right. As you arrive into Armação de Pêra you will see many quite quaint beach bars along with many fishermen’s boats. Turning left (East) on Gale beach, the scenery changes entirely, with small cliffs and rock formations where you will regularly see anglers fishing for their evening meal. The cliffs form many intimate coves that give a safe and natural wind break. From here it is possible to clamber over the rock and head east to as far as São Rafael beach (recently voted one of the top ten beaches in Europe), passing São Lourenço, Everisto, Castello and Cohelho beaches, each with their own beach restaurants and character. To the North of Galé (approx) 2km is the small and pleasant village of Vale da Parra with its lovely selection restaurants and bars.
