Ferragudo, Coastal parish in Lagoa, Portugal
The settlement stretches across hillside terraces overlooking the Arade River, with whitewashed houses cascading down to the waterfront fishing harbor.
During the 16th century, Queen Leonor recognized the strategic importance of this location and ordered protective measures for the growing fishing community.
Local fishermen gather daily at the harbor to sort their catches, maintaining centuries-old fishing practices that define the community identity.
The Fort of São João do Arade serves as a reference point for boats entering the Arade River from the Atlantic Ocean.
The parish contains four distinct beaches: Angrinha, Caneiros, Torrados, and Pintadinho, each with different geological characteristics.
