Praia dos Reis Magos

Highlight • Beach

Here you can finish it off nicely or just take a break. Eating or bathing but also for the eye is what you need.

Praia do Gorgulho

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful quiet pebble beach, took some time to figure out how to get there, the sea was a bit too rough for swimming, surprisingly often visited by men only.......

Absolutely not recommended. It goes through fields that are cordoned off and where no path is visible, and the terrain is steep. The end of the trail is so steep that even with healthy knees, you'll experience tremendous pain.

The navigation around the hidden bay is very difficult to spot and quite precarious. Good fitness level and sure footedness is required.
