Praia da Pedra dos Bicos is located in the Oura area, within the municipality of Albufeira. Situated in a section of the coast with significant urban development nearby, the beach nevertheless benefits from the presence of a natural cliff. This cliff, sometimes covered by pine trees, creates a unique setting. Its position offers direct views of the vast blue Atlantic Ocean.
The beach features a golden sandy strip that invites moments of relaxation by the sea. The name 'Pedra dos Bicos' (Beak Stone) derives precisely from the rock formations found along this stretch of coast. These natural elements, with their unique shapes, punctuate the beach landscape, both along the coastline and in the water, sculpted by the action of the sea and wind over time.
The environment at Praia da Pedra dos Bicos is characteristic of urban Algarve beaches, combining accessibility with a natural space to enjoy. It is a place where one can simply be, feel the sea breeze, and appreciate the coastal surroundings. The combination of sand, peculiarly shaped rocks, and the vast ocean perspective define its particular ambiance.
