Praia de Falesia in the Algarve is located about 30kms from Faro between Albufeira and Quarteira.
Set on a quiet clifftop, surrounded by beautiful countryside, Praia de Falesia offers quiet and relaxed holidays for the whole family.
The golden sandy beach here has a backdrop of low cliffs and pine forests and is one of the longest in the Algarve, stretching for 6kms. With Albufeira to the west and Vilamoura to the east, the beach is so long that it never gets overcrowded. Because the beach has gentle shelving it is very safe for all the family to enjoy a dip in the beautiful azure waters or take advantage of one of the watersports on offer, including scuba diving, windsurfing and water skiing.
An alternative to lazing on this beautiful beach is a hike along the coastal path which leads to the quiet villages of Acoteias and Olhos d'Agua.
There are boat excursions available from Albufeira and Vilamoura which include rides along the beautiful Algarve coastline, dolphin watching and fishing trips.
The coastline and the surrounding countryside can be explored either on foot or by bicycle.
