Our favourites: 1.Por do Sol (on Gale road at Estrada do Castelo); moderate prices, good food, friendly staff On Estrada do Vale Rabelho heading north from Estr. Gale: 2. Pastelaria Colibri 2: another coffee shop/ restaurant with plain decor and large patio serving good coffee, pastries and meals at inexpensive prices. Friendly staff. 3. Mr Singh Tandoori: typical, plain Indian family restaurant with good food at reasonable prices. 4. A Grelho do Ti-Manuel: popular fish restaurant which always seems to be busy, even in the winter; we found it a little overpriced but the locals like it. 5. Sao Domingus: a little more expensive, elegant family restaurant with excellent food; indoors and patio 6.Docaria Almeixer: an extension of Sao Domingos, sharing facilities- friendliest staff in the region, excellent food, perfect for coffee and pastries, indoor/outdoor patio, moderate prices, elegant decor yet still essentially a coffee shop! Our #1 for lunch, coffee breaks, dinner. Two more we haven't visited but residents have praised lavishly: 7. A Casa do Avo: at the top of the hill north of the Donkey and Cart roundabout. Well known for its traditional buffet lunches and dinners. Popular with local residents. A little expensive but you are paying for the unique food and ambience. 8. O Marinheiro (Gale Road half-way between Gale beach and the Marina); praised for its seafood and decor; moderate to higher prices.

No sorry best take a boat trip as most only accessible from the sea. Need calm seas also or boats unable to enter.

Yep! And much more 😉

I would like to know as well. Does the beach accept dogs? Alguém sabe si esta praia aceita os cães também?

The market is a short walk north of MacDonalds off Avenues dos Descobrimentoes.

I believe that there are taxis at the small strip mall about 50 metres from the beach restaurant/cafe. Since it includes a small hotel, there should be no problem getting a taxi there.

Just to this beach no need. But I recommend to hire one to move around for dinner out, etc.
