Praia de Loulé Velho, Sand beach in Quarteira, Portugal
The beach spans between Quarteira and Vale do Lobo, featuring ochre cliffs and an extensive pine forest along its shoreline.
Ancient Roman fish salting tanks emerge occasionally from the sand when sea conditions expose archaeological remains beneath the surface.
The western section welcomes local families from Loulé while the eastern part near Vale do Lobo golf course attracts naturist visitors.
The beach provides disabled access via a boardwalk, rental services for loungers, parasols, and paddleboards, plus lifeguard supervision during summer.
A small lagoon, Lagoa da Foz da Ribeira do Almargem, forms at the western end of the beach, creating a distinct coastal environment.
