Praia da Galé Oeste, Sandy beach in Albufeira, Portugal
The western section of Praia da Galé extends along 1.2 kilometers of coastline, featuring golden sand bordered by natural rock formations and dunes.
The rock formations at Praia da Galé Oeste contain traces of ancient marine life, indicating periods when the sea level reached further inland.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices at Praia da Galé Oeste, gathering shellfish from the rocky outcrops during low tide periods.
The beach offers wooden walkways for easy access, with dedicated parking areas, restroom facilities, and rental services for umbrellas and loungers.
The beach contains small protected coves formed by limestone cliffs where specific marine plants grow between the rock crevices.
