Praia de Mareta

Praia do Tonel sits just metres from Ponta de Sagres, with powerful waves that make it one of the best surf spots in the Algarve. Steady wind and frequent waves draw surfers from around the world, and the view of Cape St Vincent in the distance makes this beach truly iconic. The rugged landscape and the power of the Atlantic create a uniquely wild natural experience.

Praia de Sagres sits next to the Sagres fortress, at one of the westernmost points in continental Europe, surrounded by dramatic Atlantic scenery. Its cool water and powerful waves draw surfers and bodyboarders year-round. The historic atmosphere of the village of Sagres, linked to the Portuguese Age of Discovery, adds depth to any visit.

Praia do Martinhal is a beach with calm, shallow water, much loved by families with children, next to the luxury resort of the same name. The sheltered bay offers perfect conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing and is known for its steady winds. The landscape, within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, ensures a preserved natural setting.

Praia de Beliche is one of the beaches closest to Cape St Vincent, the southwesternmost point in continental Europe, tucked between imposing cliffs that partially shelter it from the wind. Its water is exceptionally clean and the wild natural setting is the main attraction. Access via cliff steps and the isolation keep this beach a refuge for more adventurous visitors.
