Über diesen Ort Praia Grande de Pêra

Praia Grande de Pêra is a long, dune-backed beach between Praia dos Salgados and Armação de Pêra, a short drive west of Albufeira. The dunes and the quieter end toward the rocks have been an unofficial gay naturist and cruising area for years, and Portuguese and international gay guides list it. This is an informal outdoor spot with few facilities, so bring water and shade. Go during the day, stay within sight of other people, and keep valuables in the car or out of view. Portugal is legally LGBTQ-friendly, but sex in public is still an offence, so take it into the dunes and away from families.

Massive beach, with hotel with huge pool inside the beach. Parking platform inside the beach. Aesthetically and ecologically out of place.

Situated in the municipality of Sintra, Praia Grande has a relatively extensive area. The sea usually has waves, ideal for surfing and bodyboard practices. Well visited, usually always have a good atmosphere. It has easy parking spaces and catering options.

If you want to get to know the wild side of the Atlantic, this is the right place. The surf is spectacular and you could see some REALLY high waves on the horizon. There are surf schools that also offer beginner courses. However, due to the strong waves, the beach is more for advanced surfers. Don't miss the sunset: breathtaking!

Beach very popular with the Portuguese but without interest. The environment is urbanized, there are many other beaches with a wild environment

A very large beach with great surf, a saltwater sea pool at one end and a fantastic sea food restaurant we dined at which overlooks it all. Europe's (Portugal's) answer to Bondi Beach.

This is a great beach for enjoying nature. We stayed close by and visited the beach every day during our stay. The strong point of this beach are the views and enjoying walking alongside the waterline. Just observing the sea is fantastic here. If you like to swim head over to the pool at the hotel and for eating there are several good options.

It's a great place with a long sandy beach , beautiful landscape and clean water. Free parking and shower all along the beach. There are some restaurants as well. We had a good time when the tide was low ,however, be careful when the tide is high : rough waves Drive carefully: some parts of the road outside Colares are very narrow!

We went to a restaurant there for lunch and whjile at it we took a very nice a long walk on the beach. It was November, so no change of swimming, and the specific day was really windy so there were huge waves but the beach is beautiful! Would like to come back during summer time.
