Praia da Samoqueira

Praia da Samoqueira is a sandy beach on the Alentejo coast, framed by limestone cliffs and natural rock outcrops that define its shoreline. The sand is golden and the waters are clear, creating a natural and unspoiled appearance.

The beach developed alongside Porto Covo village, which emerged in the 18th century as a fishing settlement. Its story is inseparable from the maritime traditions that shaped this coastal region.

The beach remains closely tied to the fishing community that has worked these waters for generations, with local practices shaping daily life here. This continuing bond with maritime traditions gives the place its character.

A maintained stairway from the parking area provides easy access down to the beach. Lifeguard services are present during the warmer months to help ensure visitor safety.

At low tide, small pools form among the rocks, filling with water and hosting various sea creatures. These temporary habitats appear and disappear with the tides, revealing hidden marine life.
