Odeceixe Beach

Highlight • Beach

Praia de Odeceixe is one of those unique spots where the sea and the river meet: on one side, the waves of the Atlantic; on the other, the calm of the Ribeira de Seixe.

It's perfect for a break from cycling or a day at the seaside, with easy access and incredible views over the cliffs (and the easily recognisable rock to the north, in the shape of a shark's fin).

Between dips in the water, seaside coffees, surfing and golden sunsets, it's a must-see stop on the Costa Vicentina.

Praia de Odeceixe

Highlight • Beach

Wonderful beach, characterized by the mouth of the Ribeira de Seixe. There are actually dangerous undercurrents, if that's too dangerous for you, go swimming in the river mouth.

Stork Nests on Coastal Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

Storks usually build their nests on posts, chimneys or gables. But in Portugal, and only here, there are storks that nest in the cliffs. What drives them to do this remains a mystery.

Ribeira de Seixe Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ribeira de Seixe, which takes its name from the Arabic sayh, "torrent", draws the natural border between the Alentejo and the Algarve, running serenely until it meets the Atlantic at Odeceixe Beach.

Between the village and the sea, the valley is simply magical: green banks, open views and a perfect environment for cycling.

You can even go up the river by canoe, observe birds (and who knows, an otter) or alternate between dips in the calm river and the ocean. This is one of those places that stay in your memory.
