About the beach

An intensively used town beach in Albufeira, with about 274 m of golden sand between Praia do Peneco to the west and Praia dos Alemães to the east. It takes its name from the INATEL Foundation hotel, built on a rocky terrace above the sand. It is backed by steep, continuous cliffs; to the east there are rock formations on the sand and ochre cliffs running to Alemães. A cliff-top footpath has viewpoints over the beaches and the town. It holds the Praia Acessível 2026 award.
