Praia do Túnel, also known as Peneco Beach, is a sheltered cove just a short walk from Albufeira's old town. Access is through a tunnel carved into the cliff, which adds a sense of discovery. The beach boasts fine golden sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Flanked by dramatic rock formations, it offers a more intimate setting than the larger beaches. Facilities include sun lounger rentals, a beach bar, and lifeguard supervision during summer. Its proximity to the town center makes it a convenient and popular choice.
