Praia do Vale Covo

The orange sand beach extends along a secluded cove flanked by tall limestone cliffs, with clear blue waters meeting the shore.

The limestone cliffs surrounding Praia do Vale Covo formed over millions of years through geological processes in the Atlantic coastal region.

Local fishermen launch their boats from this beach to catch sardines and sea bream, maintaining traditional fishing methods of the Algarve region.

Visitors can access the beach via a steep staircase from the cliffs near Hotel Tivoli Almansor, with parking available at the top.

During low tide, the beach reveals small caves and rock pools containing diverse marine life, including colorful starfish and sea anemones.
