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.

The first thing you see when you approach the town is the restored windmill on a small hill. From there you have a great view over the dunes to the huge beach.
