Falésia Beach (Praia da Falésia, meaning Cliff Beach) is a beach in Albufeira, Algarve, southern Portugal. It has a cliff that begins in the Praia do Barranco das Belharucas (beach) and extends to Vilamoura area.
The beach is part of a continuous stretch of sand almost 7 km in length. It is flanked by a line of high cliffs in deep tones ranging from reds to whitish, in contrasting colours with the green of the pine groves above.
At the western end, the cliff is high but soft, composed of sand and clay, so the rain wears away grooves and gullies.
To the east, the cliff is gradually losing height, while remaining deeply eroded. It is this erosion that keeps the beach sandy. As a result, small cones of sand forming at the base of these cliffs.
