I LOVE BEACHES AND SUN

The Algarve coast begins in the Natural Park of Costa Vicentina, an extension of the Alentejo coast.

Between Odeceixe and Sagres you hardly seem to be in the Algarve, such are the differences between this area and the eastern and central Algarve. It’s a less explored area, where the towering cliffs hide beaches like Amoreira, Monte Clérigo, Arrifana and Carrapateira.

Some are like secrets to be discovered, accessible by hidden paths. But most are well-known by surfers and bodyboarders, who find the waves they like on beaches like Praia do Amado, the setting for international surfing competitions.
