Images of Portugal: São Rafael Beach - Algarve
Praia São Rafael Beach in the Algarve region of southern Portugal is a lovely beach close to the popular resort of Albufeira, west of Faro. Praia de São Rafael is celebrated for its stunning natural scenery, featuring dramatic golden limestone cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and unique rock formations (like Ponte Pequena). It is a Blue Flag awarded beach, ensuring high cleanliness, and is popular for snorkelling, kayaking, and relaxing in a slightly quieter, yet accessible, cove compared to more central Albufeira beaches.
