Praia da Balaia, Sandy beach in Albufeira, Portugal.
The beach stretches along a small cove formed by low cliffs and rock formations, featuring multiple sandy recesses along the eastern section.
This segment of the Portuguese coast has maintained its natural geological characteristics since ancient times, with minimal human alterations to the landscape.
The beach forms part of the Santa Eulália Coastal Unit, representing the traditional Portuguese approach to beach classification and maritime management.
Wooden boardwalks and steps provide access to the beach from the northern holiday developments, though maintenance varies with weather conditions.
During low tide, the beach reveals hidden passages through the rocks that lead to additional sandy areas along the eastern cliff face.
