Beaches along our coast

Ribeiro do Cavalo

Also known as Ribeira do Cavalo. A wild beach east of the Porto de Abrigo, with no road access: you reach it by a cliff path of about 1 km or by sea. Calm, very clear water.

Baleeira

Praia da Baleeira, also called Praia do Paraíso, lies southwest of Azoia and is the first wild beach after Cabo Espichel. It is a small pebble bay, popular for introductory dives. It still has ruins from the days when it served as a harbour for fishing traps.

Praia do Inferno

Also called Praia do Penedo. It sits in a small cove south of Azoia, at the foot of high cliffs. It has stones and pebbles, crystal-clear water and a natural arch. Access by land is difficult.

Cova da Mijona

Praia da Cova da Mijona (or da Mijona) is a hideaway between cliffs that can only be reached by sea or by demanding trails. Next to the cliff there is a house that once served as a shelter for fishermen.

Comfort aboard Black Flag

About 7.5 m, just for your group (up to 6 people), with a WC and sundeck — more comfortable than a typical RIB.
