Vale Figueiras Beach, Remote beach in Aljezur, Portugal.
Vale Figueiras Beach extends along the western Algarve coast with golden sand bordered by natural cliffs and clear Atlantic waters.
The beach remained untouched by development throughout centuries, maintaining its original character within the Vicentine Coast Natural Park.
Local surf schools have established a presence at Vale Figueiras Beach, creating a community centered around water sports and nature appreciation.
Visitors need to bring their own supplies as the beach lacks facilities, and access requires navigation through an unpaved road to reach parking.
The surrounding cliffs serve as nesting grounds for ospreys and provide one of the rare habitats for Iberian lynx on the Peninsula.
