View of Praia da Adraga from the cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

For me, one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Still deserted at the end of May. A photogenic rock arch, fine sand and great waves - there's also a small restaurant - holidaymakers, what more could you want?

Beautiful route, occasionally a bit more intense parts where you have to climb with hands and feet. Not extremely strenuous but a pair of sturdy shoes is recommended. Be sure to take some time to sit on the beach at Praia Ursa, it is really fantastic there.
