Praia de Cacela Velha

Praia de Cacela Velha is a picturesque beach located in the Algarve region. Known for its natural beauty, it is often compared to the Elafonisi Lagoon on Crete. The beach is characterized by its shallow waters, making it an ideal location for a leisurely walk during low tide. The beach is also known for its breezy conditions, adding to its charm. The beach is surrounded by nature, with some visitors likening the area to a botanic garden. It is also known for its quietness and good beach extension, making it a favorite among visitors. However, due to its natural state and somewhat difficult access, the beach does not have strong support services.

The beach can be accessed via a bit of a walk, but visitors agree that the journey is well worth it. The beach is not typically crowded, offering a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Additionally, visitors can explore the small backwater streams that are located nearby. From the beach, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the beach and lagoon from Cacela Velha, adding to the overall experience.
