Praia dos Pescadores

Parking

VisitPortugal lists parking for Beach dos Pescadores. Current capacity, payment conditions, traffic restrictions and the easiest parking approach for the old-town seafront were not independently verified during this review. Because this is a central urban beach, visitors should confirm local parking conditions before travelling in peak periods.

Accessibility

VisitPortugal lists Beach dos Pescadores as an accessible beach. Visit Albufeira references multiple access options for the central seafront, including lift, stairs, ramps and tunnel context. Current step-free route conditions, beach wheelchair availability, accessible toilets and assisted bathing were not independently verified; visitors with reduced mobility should confirm the best access point locally.

Lifeguard season

Diário da República lists Pescadores as a 2026 bathing water from 15 May to 15 October, and VisitPortugal lists safety or surveillance. Exact daily lifeguard staffing was not independently verified; check local flags, signage and beach notices before swimming.

Blue Flag status

Blue Flag status: not verified for 2026. VisitPortugal lists Blue Flag as a beach service, but the individual ABAAE Pescadores page checked during this review showed 2025 season dates and Pescadores was not found in the ABAAE 2026 awarded list for Albufeira checked on 18 May 2026.
