Ribeira da Carrapateira Lagoon and Dunes

Highlight • Beach

Bordeira Beach

Highlight • Beach

A wild beauty, endlessly wide and long and almost unvisited in May and September (apart from Survern). Here the Ribeira da Carrapateira flows into the Atlantic - at high tide it forms a lagoon with shallow and warm water. At the northern end of the first section of the beach there are interesting rock formations and a cave-like passage and then the beach is far from over. Absolutely undeveloped, a miracle in this time of mass tourism. A small wooden hut defies the wind, a bar in high season.

A hiking trail leads from Carrapateira via Praia da Bordeira beach and Cape Pontal da Carrapateira to Praia do Amado beach. Beautiful rocks - orange to red.

Carrapateira

Highlight • Settlement

Carrapateira is located in the beautiful nature of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park and is only a stone's throw from the Atlantic, well protected behind an impressive dune landscape. You won't find great shopping or impressive sights here. And that is exactly the highlight! This place is wonderfully original. Here you get to know the real Algarve. Discover local agriculture and fishing, let the wind blow in your face and be enchanted by one of the most beautiful, natural beaches in the Algarve.

June 5, 2025,Runde von Carrapateira - Familienwanderung

Today we started our next family hike.
It was a circular route that started in Carrapateira and initially led, somewhat strenuously, along a sandy path to Praia da Bordeira.
From there, we continued along the beautiful rocky coast past Praia da Zimbreirinha, looping back to Carrapateira, where we had parked our cars.

Beautiful route with different types of rock formations. Too bad there are cars driving there too.

We were unlucky with the weather. The route was completely in fog. At the parking lot there was sunshine and blue skies again.

An extensive dune landscape begins behind the outskirts of Carrapateira. Then it goes over a wooden plank bridge towards the beach. However, our circular route turns off beforehand and leads along a small inland lake to a rocky peak from which one has a beautiful view over the bay. It is a real surfer's paradise.
The path continues to climb …

Carrapateira is the starting point for numerous hiking trails. As such, there were also many hikers on the way. It is not far through the dunes to the surfer hotspot Praia da Bodeira.

For once we stay two nights in the same place. That's why there's a shorter circular hike today, there's supposed to be some relaxation too. The hike takes us to the unique Praia da Bordeira, to the Pontal da Carrapateira headland and further along the coast to Praia do Amado (which we will explore tomorrow). Today's motto is, whenever possible, …
