Praia da Zambujeira do Mar

Odemira, Beja

Excellent

Zambujeira do Mar is one of the hidden gems of the Alentejo coast — a small beach set between tall black and green cliffs, reached by a pedestrian path between the village and the sand. The famous NOS Alive music festival takes place nearby, but for the rest of the year the beach keeps an almost absolute calm. Its intensely blue water and the dramatic cliffs make it one of the most photographed places in Portugal.
