Aljezur, Faro · Algarve
About the Beach
Praia de Odeceixe Mar is the Atlantic-facing stretch of Odeceixe beach, different from the lagoon side where the River Seixe meets the sea. Open ocean waves create interesting surf conditions, while the wild landscape of the Vicentine Coast unfolds in all its grandeur. The boundary between the Algarve and the Alentejo crosses right through this beach, making it geographically singular.
