Create an itinerary including Praia da Falesia
Walk for hours below beautiful cliffs along the sandy shores of Praia da Falesia, popular among tourists for its dramatic backdrop. The beach is named for its gouged, red cliffs, which act as a blockade for troublesome winds that could ruin a good day in the sun. While the cliffs are rugged, the shoreline is calm and flat, and therefore good for playing or taking a long walk. Plan to visit Praia da Falesia during your Albufeira vacation using our convenient Albufeira online trip itinerary builder.

    Falesia beach is a long stretching beach. High cliffs of multi shades of orange/rust lead to the beach. Nice for a long walk early morning

    Nice beach, not too busy in September. We decided to drive 20 minutes around from Vilamoura so parking at the beach is free. Otherwise the hourly rate at the beach side close to Vilamoura can be quite high.
