Almograve, pause and connect with nature

Almograve Dunes Trail is an 8.5 km circular walking trail. A trail that passes through the region’s agricultural area and stretches along the vast sand of Brejo Largo amid reddish dunes and magnificent cliffs

2 km south of Almograve you’ll find the quaint fishing port of Lapa dos Pombos. In a natural bay, this scanty port is used by small fishing boats. The name (Pombos=pigeon) comes from once being a nesting place for pigeons. Today, we only found seagulls and a fisherman who had just caught a conger eel and a few velvet crabs.

At 500m from the village, Almograve beach has an extensive shoreline, ideal for walks by the sea. At low tide, it forms small natural pools, great for families with children

A small and charming beach, located in a cove to the north of Cape Sardão. However, at high tide, most of its sand disappears

The promontory, before accessing the beach, gives you the feeling of being at the bow of a ship, advancing boldly into the sea, but be careful, do not venture to close to the bow of that ship, the fall is fatal!

Access by dirt road

Between Almograve and Zambujeira do Mar you will find Cabo Sardão. The westernmost point of the Alentejo Coast and a stunning viewpoint over the coast. This is an excellent place for bird watching with emphasis on White Storks (Ciconia ciconia). The Costa Vicentina has the particularity of being the only place in the world where these storks nest on the cliffs.

The Cabo Sardão Lighthouse was built in 1915 and is 17 m high. Can be visited every Wednesday
