Beaches: The Western Algarve/Rocky Algarve is characterized by bizarre rock formations along the cliffs and fine-sand coves with crystal-clear water. Sagres is situated on a rocky plateau surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The typical Algarve tourism scene is unknown here. Those seeking quiet beach coves will find them in the immediate vicinity.
- Praia Beliche, 500 m long and free of rocks
- Praia de Tonel with a charming underwater landscape
(400 m from the house)
- Praia Mareta, within the town (the house’s beach, 300 m from the house)
- Praia Baleeira, with a romantic fishing harbor
- Praia Martinhal, with vast sand dunes
The vacation home is in a quiet yet central location. All shopping options and beaches are in the immediate vicinity, so you can easily go without a car for extended periods. There are also very nice, affordable, yet exclusive restaurants serving Portuguese and Western European cuisine nearby.
Surroundings: Cabo de São Vicente:
Just 5 km from Sagres, Cabo de São Vicente juts out over the Atlantic from a breathtaking rocky landscape. A small fortress with a lighthouse marks the southwesternmost point of Europe and offers magnificent views of the Costa Vicentina.
The windswept cape, once revered by the Romans as the seat of the gods, becomes a pilgrimage site in the evening for romantics, who sit in droves on the edge of the cliffs and squint at the sunset.
Fortaleza de Sagres:
Perched on a rocky outcrop high above the sea stand the ruins of a fortress, the Vila do Infante, where Henry the Navigator is said to have systematically planned his great voyages of discovery. The current complex dates back to the 16th century. In the center stands the small Capela Nossa Senhora de Garca. In front of the chapel is a huge compass rose with a diameter of 43 meters, laid out with stones on the ground.
West Coast:
The West Coast (Vicentina), which begins in Sagres and extends northward for over 100 km as a nature reserve, offers unique coastlines and natural landscapes.
