Ponta da Piedade Coastal Walk

Tiny cliff-top fishing village west of Luz. One small beach, handful of restaurants, almost no development. Exactly what the Algarve looked like before mass tourism.

Historic maritime town where Portugal's Age of Discovery began — dramatic sea cliffs at Ponta da Piedade, golden cove beaches, a vibrant old town, and the sobering story of Europe's first slave market.

Charming fishing village at the mouth of the Alvor estuary with excellent seafood restaurants. Gateway to Meia Praia beach and Alvor estuary boardwalk.

Wide sandy beach with golden sand, backed by low cliffs and a charming seaside village with restaurants and shops.
