Porto Covo

Highlight • Settlement

Porto Covo stretches out over the Atlantic with its simple charm: whitewashed houses, quiet streets, and a strong fishing soul. Here, life follows the rhythm of the sea.

In the heart of the Costa Vicentina, it is a key point for those who cycle: dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and coastal trails that invite you to explore without haste. Between dives, coffees in the square, and endless views, Porto Covo is one of those places that make you want to stay just a little longer.

View of Ilha do Pessegueiro

Highlight • Beach

This strip of sand lies a few kilometers south of the popular resort of Porto Covo. With its backdrop of sand dunes and bushland beyond, it feels quite wild. This is somewhat contradicted by the large, abandoned 16th fortress overlooking the beach.

Pessegueiro Island Beach

Highlight • Beach

Fort Santo Alberto on the island of Pessegueiro and the Fort of Nossa Senhora da Queimada near Pessegueiro Beach are defenses that were built to protect this coast from piracy. Construction of these two fortresses began in the Philippine period around 1588 but did not end until 1690 after the restoration of Portuguese independence.
The 1755 earthquake caused significant damage to this group of fortresses, and although classified as national monuments, they are being abandoned.
The fort has no opening times to the public.
There are fantastic sunsets.

Coastal dirt road in the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina

Highlight • Trail

Basically a good path, but has many transverse gullies! Sometimes tedious driving with luggage.
