Praia de Cacela Velha

Portugal, Portugal

Praia de Cacela Velha (also called Praia da Fábrica) is a long, pristine sandy beach stretching about 1.7 kilometers at the western end of the old Cacela Peninsula in the eastern Algarve, integrated within the protected Ria Formosa Natural Park.

The beach features fine golden or white sand, warm and calm waters during summer, and stunning scenery with views of Monte Gordo Bay, the historic village's church and fortress, nearby islands, and the Algarve hills, making it one of Portugal's best and Europe's top ten beaches for walking.

Access requires a pedestrian walk of several hundred meters from Manta Rota beach across a shallow tidal bar at low tide, or a short boat ride from the fishing hamlet of Sítio da Fábrica during high tide, which keeps the beach relatively uncrowded and peaceful compared to other Algarve resorts.
