Praia do Túnel, Atlantic beach in Albufeira, Portugal

The beach extends along yellow sandstone cliffs with golden sand and includes multiple access points through a tunnel, ramps, stairs, and an elevator.

The Xorino Cave at the western end of the beach served as a refuge for Moors after Christians captured Albufeira in the 13th century.

The beach represents a meeting point between the old town district and the ocean, marking the traditional connection of Albufeira with maritime activities.

The beach maintains lifeguard services during summer months and offers facilities including sunbed rentals, showers, restrooms, and a beachfront restaurant.

A 20-meter tunnel cuts through the cliffs next to the tourist office, connecting the town square directly to the beach area.
