solopes Says: If you want to stay close to the life of Albufeira, but in a calm area with a good beach, Oura is a very interesting option, at walking distance (well... for good walkers!). Good facilities and a small park that works well out of peak season.
Geoff_Wright Says: Praya De Oura is a hive of activity on a fine, sunny day. Unfortunately the day we went there and spent the longest time on the beach, I forgot my camera!!!From the beach here, you can go for a banana boat ride, try your hand in paraascending, jet skiing or just mess about...
Clube Praia da Oura: Well located
solopes Says: I stayed at this apart-hotel more than 20 years ago for a week. Very good apartments, with excellent location. In my recent visit I noticed that they built some adding, but the whole still has a good look (and the location remains excellent). If I need it, this would be one...
Geoff_Wright Says: Another view of the restaurant area along the beach. The pedestrian walkway is well maintained, with boardwalks over the sandy beaches in places.
Vivaldo's Restaurant: Go inside and See!
Geoff_Wright Says: Vivaldo's Restaurante is to be found right on the beach. It also contains a coffee shop and a small bar, and is one of two or three such restaurants to be found here.Unfortunately we never had the time to venture inside, but it did look very inviting, and very clean.
Geoff_Wright Says: A final photo of the beach at Praia Da Oura. You can see just how rough the sea is, but this was the only 'bad' day, and really it wasn't that bad at all. It was still warm enough for a spot of sunbathing.From here we went down into Albufeira, for a finaly look around the...
Geoff_Wright Says: This photo is of the end of the road to the beach. this is the steep access, shown in the first of the two previous pictures. On the right, out of view, is one of the Marrachinho supermarkets, which are common all over this area. There is little or no easy parking to be...
Geoff_Wright Says: This is the nicer way to the beach, through the grounds of the Club Praia Da Oura. Just follow the Rua Oliveira Martins through the attractive complex (on your left), and it will lead you directly to the beach. No one will try to prevent your access (that is, we never saw...
Geoff_Wright Says: Here you see Mary walking down the very steep and uneaven roadway, leading to the beach. Many of the pavements/footpaths/sidewalks here are constructed using stone, similar to hard Marble, which is very slippery underfoot. In some places you almost have to hold on to...
Geoff_Wright Says: Sorry, but it's why you came here isn't it? I mean, to see the beach? LOL! Like all of the beaches we used, Praia Da Oura is particularly clean and tidy. It was only on the final day of our holiday, due to the bad weather, that the beach became littered with seaweed and...
Geoff_Wright Says: There are several restaurants and bars on the beachfront. As we were in a bit of a hurry, we settled for a large icecream from the kiosk. it cost 2 Euros, which seemed to be the going price. anyway, it was well worth it! You will find that almost all the Portuguese people...
Geoff_Wright Says: Oura beach on our first day. It was quite a surprise to find this pleasant beach so close to our accommodation, about ten minutes' walk away. We just popped down here whilst waiting for Carmen and Stacey (Carmela71 and Beach Dog) to arrive. A bit of a shock to the system as...

Praia Da Oura is a busy little beach just a couple of miles from the main beach in albufeira. It was the closest beach to our accommodation, just about a ten minute walk.

Included in Albufeira broad area, this is one of my favorite beaches in Algarve. I spent there a good week many years ago, and in my recent visit I kept enjoying the place - the tremendous...

Vila Petra is clean and tidy and if you fancy a nice beer after going down 'the strip', which is a long and lively road, with lots of different shops, bars and resturants, pop into the 'welcome bar'...
