Sagres enjoys a great reputation in the world of surfing since this old fishing town is surrounded by magnificent beaches: Mareta, Tonel or Martinhal. Historically, the city is also famous since it housed the school of navigation founded by Henri le Navigateur, at the origin of the company of exploration of the coasts of Africa which led in 1488 to the discovery of the cape of Good Hope.

Sagres Fortress

Highlight • Historical Site

This is a great little fortified headland to visit. More of a fortified wall really that separates the headland from the town. Go through the fort and there is a nice 3-4k walk around the coastal cliffs. Well worth the afternoon.
