Praia da Angrinha and Castelo de São João de Arade

Highlight • Beach

This wide sandy beach below the Ferragudo town in the protected Rio Arade estuary is towered over the south end by the decorative Castelo de São João de Arade, a fort built in the 17th century as part of the Portimão coastal defense. The larger Praia Grande continues on the other side.

Ponta do Altar Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Ponta do Altar Lighthouse (Farol da Ponta do Altar) stands on a cliff near Ferragudo, near Praia do Molhe. Built in 1893, it guides ships at the entrance to the mouth of the Rio Arade River. Small and white with a red roof, the lighthouse is situated on a magnificent viewpoint with panoramic views of the sea, Portimão, and the coastline. The surrounding area is ideal for clifftop walks.
