Hiking
Praia da Salema is a picturesque beach in the fishing village of Salema, on the southwest coast of the Algarve. The beach is quiet, with fine sand and clear water, nestled between cliffs with fossils and even visible dinosaur tracks. It's ideal for families and those who want to avoid the crowds, with several restaurants and amenities nearby.

Located halfway between Sagres and Lagos, Praia da Salema was formerly used only by fishermen. Today the beach, with its crystal clear waters, is very popular and is surrounded by bars and restaurants.
