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.

Fort of Pessegueiro

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Santo Alberto on Pessegueiro Island and Fort of Nossa Senhora da Queimada near Pessegueiro Beach are a defensive structure built to protect this coast from piracy. The construction of these two forts began in the Philippine period around 1588 but did not finish until 1690 after the restoration of Portuguese independence.
The 1755 earthquake caused considerable damage to this group of forts and although they have been classified as national monuments, they are abandoned.
The fort has no opening hours 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.

Rio Mira Estuary Beach (Vila Nova de Milfontes)

Highlight • Beach

In July / August it might be different, but in June a really tranquil place.
Did a bike tour from the "Parque de Campismo Orbitur" campsite, which is around 8 km to the north and is also highly recommended.

Today we cycled against the wind to Porto Covo. Over 12 km along the road🤔
Lots of tourists and tourist accommodations🫣
The coast was spectacular, beautiful👍 On the way back, we discovered a great coastal path, saving us quite a bit of road time.
