* water quality (the latest test certificate must be posted)
* environmental matters such as recycling
* offering information about the local ecosystem
* adequate sanitary, safety and first-aid facilities
* telephone and drinking water availability
* adequate wheelchair access where topography allows
* proper maintenance of any buildings on the beach.

Some of the best beaches in and around Albufeira include:

 Gale - An expanse of sand that stretches for miles, between cliffs. It is equipped with a wide variety of tourist facilities. In the direction of Albufeira there are two small beaches that are quiet and little visited. If you want peace and quiet, you can find it here.
