Praia da Coelha is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. It is very small cove with rock formations, the sand is clean, the water is clear with crashing waves

This is the next beach West of Sao Rafael that I have already reviewed, and it shares most of its features except intimate views towards Albufeira.

This was my local beach! The nearest from the hotel. Known locally as Rabbit beach. A small cove with rock formations, great sun traps and protection from the wind.fabulous sand and crashing waves. Loved it.

You have no problem parking but then you have to walk along a pathway which would not be advisable for those with difficulty walking. Coelho beach means rabbit beach which is the name if my bank manager !! The beach is small and seems popular with young people

Typical of many such small beaches, there are several between Albufeira and Galé, that make Portugal so special. While away an afternoon here and get some food and drink at the beech bar restaurant, though of course you pay a little extra for the location

Access to this beach is quite difficult though as you have to park quite a way away from the restaurant and walk and there are steps only down to the beach but if you are able to walk it is well worth a visit.
