User reviews

"The Carriçal beach is truly authentic and secluded, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. What's even better is that it has public free entry, making it accessible to everyone. It's a great spot to relax and unwind, surrounded by stunning natural beauty."

Arlo Clausen

"This beach is absolutely amazing and the best part is that it's open to the public for free! Although it may take some effort to get there, it's definitely worth it. You can either take a 5-hour hike or a 1 hour and 30 minute ride in a 4x4 off-road vehicle. But trust me, the stunning views and crystal-clear waters make it all worth the trip."
