Create an itinerary including Praia dos Pescadores

Soak up some local color at Praia dos Pescadores, a curving stretch of golden sands lapped by the gentle waters of the Atlantic. This fisherman's beach, as its name roughly translates, blends its scenic location with easy access to Albufeira's Old Town. Just a short walk from the water, you can find busy streets packed with tourists and flanked by hotels, restaurants, bars, and shops selling local souvenirs. For unobstructed views of the sea and the coastline, take the escalator to the top of the cliffs, which provide a natural backdrop to this popular beach. End your visit with a meal at one of many seaside food kiosks selling local dishes and cold drinks.

Not my sort of beach, not too much to see and do off the beach except for tourist shops and sports bars. Having said that - if you like beach holidays - October is the best time to go as it is not...

Nice beach in the old town. It wasn't crowded in November. Water was kinda cold in those days but it was possible to swim anyway. There are fishers sometimes on the beach as the name says!

Beautiful and vibrant beach with loads of social activities going on. The architecture surrounding the beach is stunning. The sand is smooth on the feet and the sea is gorgeous.
