Praia do Cabeço

Praia do Cabeço is a sandy beach on Portugal's Atlantic coast with fine sand bordered by protective dunes and pine forest. The shore slopes gently into the water and offers plenty of space for swimming and walking along the waterline.

The beach earned Blue Flag certification in the early 1990s for meeting environmental and water quality standards. This award recognized the site as one of the region's well-managed coastal destinations.

Portuguese families gather at this beach during summer months, maintaining local traditions of seaside activities and communal gatherings.

The beach is accessible via wooden walkways from the parking area, with lifeguard services during the summer season. Using these marked paths helps protect the dunes while ensuring safe access to the shore.

A natural lagoon west of the main beach creates a separate shallow water area distinct from typical Algarve coves. This sheltered basin offers calmer conditions than the open coast, attracting different visitors and wildlife.
