"After a refreshing hike along the fisherman trail, I stumbled upon a stunning beach that left me in awe. As the tide receded, it revealed hidden gems along the sides that were perfect for further exploration. The serene atmosphere and picturesque views made for a truly memorable experience."
Nira Dobi
"This beach is a true gem! The natural beauty of the surroundings is absolutely breathtaking, and the crystal-clear waters are simply mesmerizing. However, be prepared for a chilly dip as the water is refreshingly cold. Without a doubt, this is the most beach I have had the pleasure of visiting in Alentejo."
