Sao Torpes beach, easily accessible by bus from Sines, is a long strip of sand licked by the stormy waves of the Atlantic. Very popular with surfers, it is also the starting point for the great coastal walking route of the Trilho dos Pescadores (Fisherman's Trail).
Its strong and regular waves ensure São Torpes Beach is one of the best for surfing to be found along the entire extent of the Portuguese coastline with a number of schools available for those wishing to learn this sport.
Located right in the extreme north of the Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park, São Torpes Beach covers a long stretch of sand occasionally punctuated by rocks with its sea a noticeable couple of degrees warmer than its neighbouring beaches.
