Costa Vicentina

The Costa Vicentina stretches from Odeceixe to Sagres

Its profile is serrated with high cliffs plunging into the foamy waters.
The beaches, with an almost wild beauty, extend inland on extensive dunes or are shells of sand bordered by towering rocks.

Families enjoy peaceful and refreshing vacations

The indigo, pink and red fire of sunrises and sunsets in the liquid mirror of the sea, are unique pleasures that the Costa Vicentina offers to those who visit it attentive to Nature, to the fascination of a landscape that speaks of immemorial times and almost makes one forget the human presence.

Natural habitat

Opportunity to appreciate, in their natural habitat, almost a hundred plants adapted to living in an atmosphere laden with sun and salt and in soils ranging from the soft sands of the dunes to the fine and poor soils of the schist, to the fissures of the limestone rocks... true paradise for those who appreciate wildflowers.

Animal life

Animal life is not far behind, in addition to foxes, wild boars, badgers, wild cats and rabbits, birds are the main attraction of the Costa Vicentina. More than twenty species live in the streams and wetlands, with emphasis on herons, storks, kingfishers and moorhens. The coastal rocks are home to crows, rock and wood pigeons, gulls, jackdaws and many others. Birds of prey, such as eagles, goshawks, hawks, and owls, share the skies with more than thirty different birds that, like the blackbird, the nightingale and the goldfinch, make their wonderful songs heard throughout the region.
