About the area
Region
The Costa Vicentina is a part of the Natural Park that starts further north in the Southwest Alentejo and is the longest stretch of protected Portuguese coast.
Its a part of the Algarve where the preserved nature has a strong, wild character, creating breathtaking landscapes with its cliffy coastlines and beautiful beaches.
​The area with its unique species of animal and plant life can be explored by the "Rota Vicentina", a network of hiking trails along the coastline. Small fisher-villages along the coastline give an insight into traditional portuguese culture.
​
Praia da Arrifana which is surrounded and protected by cliffs, and the open beaches Praia do Monte Clérigo and Praia da Amoreira are making the area a popular destination for surfers and beach lovers.
