Praia de Cacela Velha is an absolute gem along the Algarve coast. This beach is nothing short of paradise, offering pristine sands, clear turquoise waters, and a tranquil atmosphere that is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of more crowded tourist spots.
What makes this beach truly unique is its sense of seclusion and natural beauty. You can only access it by boat or a scenic walk at low tide, which adds to its charm and exclusivity. The views from the historic village of Cacela Velha, perched above the beach, are breathtaking and offer a glimpse into the Algarve's rich history and culture.

Parking can be found both in Fabrica and Cacela Velha but I imagine that it must be a problem during the...
