About the beach

Tucked into a rocky cove sheltered by dark cliffs and steep profiles, Praia da Arrifana is part of the wild coastline of Costa Vicentina. Water quality is Excellent, and the beach has a surf character — Atlantic conditions are frequent and attract surfers for much of the year. Access descends to the sand via a path cut into the cliff, gradually revealing the Atlantic. A human-scale beach, without the crowds of the better-known Algarve beaches nearby.
