Detailed itinerary
1
This is the meeting point. While we wait for the moment of embarkation, you will be able to observe the traditional fishing boats and the fishermen who still catch the fish on this beach.
2
Golden sand beach located in the Alporchinhos area next to the luxury resort Vila Vita Parc.
3
The Tremoços beach occupies a small sheltered bay, in the east part of the Municipality of Lagoa. As it is not easily accessible, this beach is practically wild.
4
The beach is one of the most rustic along the coast and was used as a refuge for small fishing boats in the region.
5
Marvel at what your eyes see! Located at the bottom of a valley, Praia do Barranco is an invitation to tranquility and rest. You will see that it is a beach that is not frequented by bathers because it is difficult to access. This beach is well known to scuba divers for its great diversity of marine species, which take refuge in the rocks existing on the seabed.
6
Prepare the camera! Praia da Marinha is one of the most emblematic beaches in Portugal and is considered by the Michelin Guide as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in Europe and one of the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world. Be dazzled by the beautiful cliffs and the crystal clear water. This iconic beach is one of the places you must visit in the Algarve.
7
Praia do Barranquinho has a rare typology, as the length of sand between the access to the beach and the sea is almost twice the length of the entire coastline.
8
See the beautiful beach of this beach! Praia da Malhada do Baraço in Lagoa is known for its crystal clear water and the only access is by sea. Enjoy the beauty of this beach.
9
It is famous for its impressive arch in the water. In comparison to nearby beaches such as Praia da Marinha, Benagil and Carvoeiro, Albandeira beach is relatively unknown. However, Praia da Albandeira is one of the best kept secrets that the Algarve has to offer.
10
We arrived at Praia da Corredoura and this is another beach that can only be accessed by the sea! Marvel at the natural beauty of this wild beach surrounded by cliffs with two sea caves at each end of the beach.
