Trou d'Olhos d'Aqua — Local services in Albufeira

Scenic hike, pass a few sink holes and access to mini beaches. We entered from the dead-end driveway just east of Algar cave and went eastbound to Olhos beach. No markings but generally follow the fences or trail route on Google Earth.

At one point it involved jumping off 6ft(1.8m) to the level of a flat-top beach boulder. On one side of the boulder there are small foot holes that allow you to climb down almost vertically another 2-3m to the beach (too rocky to jump down). From there we tread shallow water (around 6pm in late April) and made our way around the cliff to Olhos beach.

Interesting hike, maybe better for orderly and children on the west part as we saw many casual hikers exit from our trailhead. Not recommend accessing Olhos beach on...

Trees and plants were sometimes in the way, and at the end of the trail, there is no indication that this is the end of the trail so it's a little complicated to find the way out. But there are beautiful spots all...
