Zambujeira do Mar Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach of Zambujeira is beautiful, especially in the low season and / or at sunset.

The small community of Zambujeira is best known for the largest annual rock festival in Portugal.

The village of Odeceixe, of medieval origin and linked to the Order of Santiago, owes its name to the river Seixe (from the Arabic Wad Seixe) which flows serenely next to the village and shapes its identity.

Here at the entrance, an impressive mural by the artist OzeArv welcomes you: more than 100 meters of color that celebrate biodiversity and the local soul. Among otters, hares and birds, symbolic figures also appear: a woman who looks at the horizon with hope, foxes that evoke youth and cunning, and a fisherman who faces the sea as a promise of the future.

There must be an artist in Odeceixe who likes to create sculptures like this. Looks original.

Ribeira de Seixe Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ribeira de Seixe, which takes its name from the Arabic sayh, "torrent", draws the natural border between the Alentejo and the Algarve, running serenely until it meets the Atlantic at Odeceixe Beach.

Between the village and the sea, the valley is simply magical: green banks, open views and a perfect environment for cycling.

You can even go up the river by canoe, observe birds (and who knows, an otter) or alternate between dips in the calm river and the ocean. This is one of those places that stay in your memory.

Odeceixe Beach

Highlight • Beach

Praia de Odeceixe is one of those unique spots where the sea and the river meet: on one side, the waves of the Atlantic; on the other, the calm of the Ribeira de Seixe.

It's perfect for a break from cycling or a day at the seaside, with easy access and incredible views over the cliffs (and the easily recognisable rock to the north, in the shape of a shark's fin).

Between dips in the water, seaside coffees, surfing and golden sunsets, it's a must-see stop on the Costa Vicentina.
