The Gale Oeste beach is a long stretch of golden sand with a backdrop of soft dunes. The dunes are protected by a wooden walkway that leads all the way from the car park. The long approach is wheelchair accessible and special dune buggies are available to help bring elderly or disabled visitors to the beach. Before you get onto the beach, the path leads you past a really fantastic beach bar, with small snacks, delicious drinks and a welcoming terrace.
