It is a small beach sheltered between cliffs. Its crystalline waters and the protection provided by the rocks of the wind make this beach quite competitive. There is a restaurant with terrace on the beach. The beach has a shower and sun loungers and parasols can be hired. Just 10 minutes walk you can find our property\u00a0Joia das Sesmarias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praia do Castelo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Castelo beach is a small beach that is close to Albufeira. The beach is bordered by two large rock walls that shelter it from the wind. On the eastern side there is a rock formation that resembles the battlements of a castle, hence its name.

It is a small beach surrounded by pine trees and rock formations around it.

It is a beach surrounded by steep rocks and small rock formations along the entire beach. The sand is golden and fine. The beach of S\u00e3o Rafael is excellent for the practice of diving because the rock formations that dot the beach also extend under water allowing the existence of many places for the observation of the marine fauna.
