Tips from locals
This is one of the best beaches to visit, for the scenery, surfing and nature itself. However, due to its difficult access, it is not the most advisable to make beach.
Surrounded by beautiful cliff tops this beach has a popular beach break with peaks that work throughout the tides. The beach also has a right point break on the north side in front of the harbour. Built into the cliff tops, Restaurante Da Praia is a great place to eat with fantastic views of the surf. They offer amazing fresh food and icy cold beers.
One of the many beaches on the West Coast that is popular with surfers due to it's sheltered sandy bay and good surfing conditions for most of the year. Drive drive North on the EN120 for about 35km, turn left to Arrifana just before reaching Aljezur.
Vicentine coast is a surf paradise and Praia da Arrifana is the best spot if you want to get initiated. This natural bay has steady smaller waves perfect for learning. There are several stores in Aljezur and on your way Arrifana where you can rent suits, surfboards and have surf lessons. Avoid if you are not into surf as this place is usually crowded with surfers : )

- Café“Just north of Aljezur proper is the small town of Rogil, with one standout café – Pão de Rogil. Potentially the only modern-looking establishment in town, Pão de Rogil could easily be located in Lisbon, with it’s contemporary design and menu. The baked goods however, are all handmade with love and care at this locally owned-and-operated bakery, which beyond serving delicious toasties and addictive cookies, sells fresh loaves of rustic bread that can be purchased in house or at supermarkets around the area.”

- Bistro“This contemporary Mediterranean restaurant is located 8km out of town on the road towards Lagos, but the ever-packed parking lot will tip you off to Gulli Bistro’s excellent reputation. Gulli’s serves innovative Mediterranean dishes using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Make a reservation and put on a nice shirt – Gulli’s may look like any other Portuguese restaurant from the outside, but inside it’s got a contemporary decor and the high-quality service fitting of a high-end eatery. Families might opt for the spacious outdoor balcony where kids have space to play before the food arrives.”
