One of the Algarve's most popular summer destinations, the Beach sharing the town's name is a great expanse of sand divided up by cement seawalls.
Running between the Beach and town is the Avenida Marginal coastal road providing for a very pleasant drive or walk. Quarteira Beach itself enjoys calm waters and excellent services and facilities to ensure quality leisure time for its visitors.
In the east, Praia de Quarteira is bordered by Praia do Forte Novo. Looking east, the beach stretches as far as the eye can see. The strip of sand here continues all the way towards Praia de Faro. If you like taking long beach walks, the beach of Quarteira is perfect. Even though it is an urban beach, the beach itself is very clean and well maintained.
In the west, there is no beach directly connected to Praia da Quarteira. Instead, the beach ends at the fish and vegetable market. You can find the harbour of Quarteira here as well, which is characterized by a stone breakwater pier. If you continue to walk west, you can find Praia da Vilamoura just behind the harbour. All in all, Praia de Vilamoura is just a short walk away from Praia de Quarteira.
Around the boardwalk you can find many restaurants and bars. The area around the boardwalk is also pretty lively at night. For example, during summer there is live music in the evening.
