Beach overall scores
Praia dos Cavalos (Algarve) is located outside the Armacao de Pera settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Praia dos Cavalos, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"The beach may be petite in size, but its secluded location adds to its charm. While accessing it may require some effort, the reward is worth it. When the sea is calm and the tide is low, a delightful stroll from Cova Redonda beach to Cavalos beach is possible. It's a perfect spot for those seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city."

"The beach is quite delightful, with a restaurant café and a cave walk that leads to the adjacent beach. Additionally, it's worth noting that the sand has a brown hue."
