No doubt Amoreira beach is one of the most beautiful in the country! You should definitely go there. You can either go for a swim in the sea or in the river that goes all the way to Aljezur. Advice: You have 2 options to access the beach. If you opt for the closest one (less than 2 kms away from the apartment), you will have to cross the river to get to the beach. It is easy to do in the low-tide (you will have water on your waste for 10 meters), however in the high-tide you will have to swim for 10 meters, making it difficult to carry your belongings. So you have to time the tides properly

This is perhaps the most famous beach in the area. When there are waves, you will see a lot of surfers in the water, but in days without waves, the sea becomes really calm in crystal clear waters. Since the beach is not that big, it gets really crowded in the summer months. Advice: Do not park your car in the ramp going down to the beach, so that you don’t get a parking ticket.

If you want to be in a calm beach, with very few people, this is a great option to consider. Although the road that gives access to the beach is a bit bumpy, it is another great option to explore. Beware there is no restaurant at this beach, so there are no food options or toilets.

Similarly to Amoreira, in Carrapateira you can also go for a swim at the sea or the river. Given its extensive shore, it is a great beach to go.

It should be prohibited to leave Aljezur without having lunch in Microbar. That’s how much we love it! We recommend you to have lunch there if you go down south to Carrapateira or Amado beaches. They serve a huge variety of salads, hamburgers, bruschettas, etc, and have a wide variety of vegan food. Also they have amazing smoothies.
