Praia do Barranco

Praia do Barranco, located near Sagres, is a small beach known for its wild and peaceful environment and is surrounded by dunes. It has no support or surveillance services, making it perfect for those looking for contact with nature. Access is via a dirt road.

We did this very nice hike because we skipped this area on our tour in May.
Always worth it with lots of great views.

Praia do Barranco is located in a beautiful bay at the end of a valley, accessible via a 5 km long dirt road. Few bathers venture to this beach, which is known among diving enthusiasts for its diverse underwater world among the rocks on the seabed. There is no cell phone reception and no restroom facilities here. Our hiking guide largely confirmed the statements in the linked article about hippie mischief...!

In May 2025, however, things were surprisingly quiet and orderly.
