Praia de Vale Figueira

The extensive sandy shore stretches along the Atlantic Ocean, featuring tall cliffs that frame the beach and create a natural barrier against coastal winds.

The beach lies within the protected Vicentine Coast Natural Park, established in 1995 to preserve the indigenous flora and fauna of the Portuguese Atlantic coast.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices in the waters near Vale Figueira, contributing to the regional seafood gastronomy of the Algarve region.

Visitors need to descend steep paths to reach the beach, and the absence of facilities requires bringing necessary supplies for the duration of the stay.

The beach presents consistent wave patterns throughout the year, making it a regular destination for surfers seeking uncrowded spots along the Portuguese coast.
