No one had ever heard of this wild beach until recently, when social media, bloggers, and travel websites began showing photos of its stunning scenery. It wasn’t even marked on any map, and only a few locals knew that there was a trail leading down to one of Portugal’s most beautiful beaches. They kept it a well-guarded secret, but it’s now quite popular, including with tourists.

Ribeiro do Cavalo Beach

Highlight • Beach

As it is a wild beach and difficult to access, there is no support equipment of any kind or lifeguards. Don't forget to bring water and food, and when you return, make sure you take all your rubbish with you (there are bins near the car park, at the start of the trail)! If you prefer to stay in the shade, you will need to bring a parasol. Also note that the name of the beach is Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo and not Praia da Ribeira do Cavalo, as it is often called.
