A Praia Nova

Drop anchor off Praia Nova, a tucked-away beach nestled beneath golden cliffs beside the Senhora da Rocha headland on the Algarve coast. It's quieter than the bigger nearby beaches, with a dramatic cliff tunnel and staircase leading up from the sand if you fancy stretching your legs ashore. The headland setting gives it a sheltered, almost secretive feel that's hard to beat.
