Praia de São Rafael Canoe Forecast

Albufeira · Portugal

Praia de São Rafael scores 79/100 for canoe today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces S. A sheltered cove beach enclosed by golden limestone cliffs with arches and sea caves, a headland blocking Atlantic swell for calm, clear water. Fine sand runs about 250 metres, with submerged rocks near shore, suited to swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, and SUP, not surfing or wind sports. Blue Flag accredited with seasonal lifeguard cover. Low tide widens the sand and reveals tidal pools; high tide can cover much of it, with rockfall risk near the cliffs.
