Praia da Coelha
Albufeira, Faro · Algarve
About the Beach
Praia da Coelha is a medium-sized beach with the cliffs characteristic of the central Algarve, reached via a steep descent. Its clean water and lower visitor numbers compared with Albufeira's main beaches make it a quieter option for anyone after some peace. The well-preserved natural setting and the absence of heavy development are its main draws.
