Beach overall scores
Praia da Almagreira (Centro) is located outside the Ferrel 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 easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Praia da Almagreira with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beach offers of delightful waves and a pristine shoreline, however, the picturesque landscape and cliffs are marred by an overwhelming presence of caravans. This detracts from the beauty of the surroundings and takes away from the sense of freedom and adventure that one would expect from a beach vacation."
Kendrickson
"This stunning and isolated beach stretches for miles, offering breathtaking vistas of the coastline. The rugged dirt road leading to it may be a bit bumpy, but it only adds to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It's the perfect spot for camping, surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility."
