Beach guide
Praia de Santa Eulália is in the municipality of Albufeira, reached from the road between Areias de São João and Olhos de Água. Dense stone-pine woodland tops cliffs deeply gullied by rain. The sand is wide, with plenty of nooks formed by the rocks, and the central stretch has a short promenade lined with tall palms. Looking east, you can already see the cliffs of Praia da Falésia. The beach faces south, has restaurants, beach facilities and lifeguards, and holds Accessible Beach status for 2026, with an amphibious chair and bathing assistance.
