Praia dos Rebolos

Highlight • Beach

An insider tip for surfers who want to have the line-up to themselves. The descent from the cliff looks quite difficult and dangerous! Hikers have a great view of the bay from above!

Cabanas Velhas Beach

Highlight • Beach

An easy hiking route with outstanding views of the Atlantic. Just don't go too close to the cliffs, there is a risk of falling.

Almádena fort is a ruin dating from the 16th century. It was built to protect the fishermen from the pirates that plagued the area. Today, the fort is open to the public and offers a lovely view of the coast.
