Praia de Monte Gordo

The beach extends for 1.5 kilometers along golden sands, featuring a wooden boardwalk and clear waters that remain shallow for a considerable distance offshore.

Monte Gordo transformed from a traditional fishing settlement into a modern resort destination during the 1980s, with the construction of numerous hotels and apartments.

Local fishermen maintain their presence on a designated section of the beach, where visitors observe traditional boats and nets drying under the Portuguese sun.

The beach provides numerous facilities including restaurants, water sports rentals, and accessible wooden walkways, with ample parking spaces available behind the shoreline.

The Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Guadiana River mouth create warmer water temperatures than other Algarve beaches, reaching 22 degrees Celsius in summer.
