Praia de Vale dos Homens

Vale dos Homens Beach stretches for half a kilometer along the coast, bordered by tall schist cliffs and surrounded by farmland and pine forests.

The beach name Vale dos Homens originates from a late 16th-century incident involving seven caravels carrying slaves near this coastal area.

The beach forms part of the Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park, preserving the local ecosystem and traditional fishing practices.

Visitors need to descend 285 wooden steps to reach the sand, with lifeguard service available during summer months but no additional facilities on site.

During low tide, the beach reveals numerous rock pools that serve as natural habitats for starfish, crabs, and various marine organisms.
