Quite possibly and I suspect also the operation to scrape back the loose material on the cliffs contributed, as it is far worse down that end. Here's some more. Just the kind of thing you can crack a toe on - I did about ten years ago - or worse of course. These pictures are on the Inatel beach heading east.

Cheers for the info Cubsur.  Ah well, a few rocks here and there shouldn't spoil the greater enjoyment of just being out there with all the associated good stuff Approve

 Hope the beaches are not that crowded when I arrive 6th September. Luckily the
 beach at Forte Sao Joao where we stay never gets really crowded.

Hi Cheeky,
 
Albufeira's full of Portugese and Spanish at the moment, plus the tides right in, it will be busy in September but not packed like August. Which is why September is one of my favourite months, I will have my towel on the beach on the 8th Sept, cannot wait !   Dancing

We arrive on 9th September - hopefully the beaches will not be too crowded but certainly hope the weather is still as hot - see you there!

Got back on Sunday following yet another fantastic 8 days Big%20smile
There were certainly more rocks and stones on the Peneco beach than I remember in previous years but there were only the odd one or two big(ish) ones. 
The waves/surf was bigger than in previous years too especially last Tuesday when the lifeguards were blowing their whistles like they were going out of fashion - also witnessed 3 rescues over the week: 1 was a fat bloke in a tyre getting washed down and out toward the cliffs & path who would defintely have been washed away if it wasn't for the older lifeguard blokey - nice rescue mate Clap 
 
And at the end of the day on the beach what could be better than a nice cold beer or glass of rose? Big%20smile

A couple of pictures I took yesterday afternoon. it was just after high tide and you can see that there wasn't much beach, the tide being very high.

Looks like a temporary pool formed, for a short while anyway. Smile

No harm having the sand washed either.

Eric the barman told me last night that at high tide some very big waves gave a lot of people a good soaking as they sat on the sand. Many soggy towels in evidence later!

Yes it was add and add a fairly stiff breeze from the west and that's a lot of water. it doesn't normally get that high until December/January.

Here's a picture I took Sunnay afternoon about 3 hours before hightide.
