Things to see and do in Gale
Galé is largely popular with visitors due to its choice of beaches, offering everything from wild and picturesque coves to family-friendly stretches of golden sands. During the summer months lifeguards are present at each, making it a great resort for families with younger children, and all are easily accessible for holiday makers with mobility issues.
There are lots of amenities, sunbed hire and a choice of watersports on offer, especially at Praia da Galé Oeste. The beach also comes with a large car park for easy access, as well as wooden walkways and ramps. Praia da Galé Leste offers a more sheltered, secluded area for those looking to get away from the crowds.
Top attractions
The main attraction here is, of course, the coast, which offers as many as 25 different beaches. Choose from Blue Flag-winning Praia d’Oura, where you can try windsurfing, snorkelling or SUPing, or enjoy Praia dos Pescadores where there is family-friendly spots for swimming and lots of great restaurants.
Nearby Albufeira is a popular town for a day trip, offering an old town full of charming churches and cobbled streets, and its buzzing nightlife that starts up in the evenings. If the kids are looking for some excitement, the nearby Zoomarine amusement park provides plenty! Come for the animals, waterslides and rides, or catch a movie at the 4D cinema.
Best restaurants
There is a nice choice of bars and restaurants in Gale, especially along the beach where you can enjoy tapas and drinks at the Gale beach bar or Manuel Lourenço beach bar. For something a little more special, try the award-winning Vila Joya restaurants which has garnered two Michelin stars over the years.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023
At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.
For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
