My favourite of all the beaches I know… and I don’t know many because I am not a beach person 😉 I still prefer to walk around forests.
Lagoa de Albufeira (Portugal) was windy and cold that day. And almost nobody was there since it was out of season.But hey, I like that way 🙂 The waves are bigger, the sand doesn’t burn your feet and less likely I will get sunburn.. Just perfect 🙂
The waves push the water through the beach towards the land creating very shallow “puddle” full of tiny fishes, crabs and kids playing. I suppose that’s why it’s name.But that is in the summer season only. In winter the narrow path is dug up and no water can get in.
As I was getting back I saw that happy dog. The whole beach was his! All the waves and all the seagulls to scare.
Cool red sneakers. 🙂
Haha thanks! I loved them 😀
Awwwww… How I want to be at the beach after looking at all your photos… and feel the breeze on my face!
Yeaaaa the frozen cheeks and ears… sand in your teeth.
Fun! 😀
Hahaha – you spoilsport, you! 😛
(But I like frozen cheeks…)
hahaha We can still go! pick some shells and stones 🙂
Yayyyyy… We are going to the beach!! Will you bring some cake… and cookies…pleaseee?!! 😉
Of course! How could I not?
And some hot tea too 🙂
I cant reply under your comment anymore..
You can visit the beach almost all year round. It is very warm even in winter. Beaches from March to December are full of tourists. I love the sea and everything connected with it.
Oh no… in winter it’s cold and windy.
But I like that they are empty.
Lovely pictures we have beaches like this in New Zealand and sometimes you are the only one on the beach. Our sand is a slightly different colour it can be golden or black.
I would love to see the black sand beach… or actually be on one. I can always google them to see 😉 Why are they black?
woohoo that dog is ONE happy dog, how great that you actually could get a picture of him . i sooo laught at the first text part, looking at your RunningFastFootsies, THAT for me was a wounderfull picture
Hahaha yeaaa.
“hot.. hot.. outch.. run.. water.. fast!”
The doggie was so cute… running there and back 😀
And maybe just 4 or 5 people in the sight. Love when it’s so empty.
ha ha i feel you 😛 aww its great when your out and its almost empty…
Great photos
Thanks! It’s a good spot for them.
Lovely photos, Ewa, although I would like it a little warmer, I think! Funny you mention about the name Lagoa de Albufeira. I guess lagoa means lagoon, right? Well the second part of the name comes from Arabic al-buhayra, which also means lagoon! So, Lagoa de Albufeira really means ‘Lagoon Lagoon’ 😀
It is actually not bad in a summer. The cold ocean breeze helps. But there is a lot more people too.
It is such an awesome lagoon that it has to have double name 😀
