Parks & Nature
This is no only one of the top 100 beaches in the Algarve (per TripAdvisor), but its also the starting point for the clifftop walk that goes to Galé beach! This is a fantastic way to discover Algarves natural beauty, as you will pass by several beaches, see the varied flora and the shifting colours of the cliff rocks, and inhale the salty ocean air! Not suitable for unfit people, the trail is a bit challenging, and good shoes is advisable! If you get tired, you can have a refreshment at one of the many beach restaurants.
