Praia de Santa Eulália has the reputation of being one of the best beaches around Albufeira. A little over 4 km to the east of Albufeira it is something of an upmarket resort beach. Before you descend onto the beach you are treated to breath taking clifftop views. There's a great choice of restaurants up on the cliff too, all with 360-degree panoramic views.

The beach itself is quite wide during low tide, which provides lots of space. The water is the typical clear azure you would expect on this coast making it ideal for swimming and snorkelling. This makes Praia de Santa Eulália not so good for surfing but great for leisurely walks along the sea. During the summer months a lifeguard is on hand making Santa Eulália a good beach for families with children.
