Praia da Falésia takes its name from the fascinating gouged red cliffs that form the backdrop to this endless stretch of sand. As these cliffs are not very tall it makes access convenient whilst acting as a suitable barrier to any winds from the north during the off season.

You are sure to find a spot to yourselves on this beach because, at a length of 6km, Praia da Falésia is one of the larger beaches in the Algarve. A day on the Praia da Falésia can seem almost lonely, even in August, as the bathers are scattered over a wide area. The huge scale of the Praia da Falésia beach means, that if you are willing to walk, there is always a quieter section of the beach to be found.
