Caramujeira is a lovely place we have visited on and off for about 8 years now. It is a great location away from the crowds but not too isolated. We have been down to Pera but find the attention of some of the stange men in the dunes somewhat disconcerting. For larger beaches we do go down to Meia P...

HelyG. Are there any others that are worth a visit ? Sandra

I think my partner and I have found another gem as mentioned by maccasa (if its the same one) We love coming in the quiet season and have just returned to the UK after three weeks in Benagil area. Although the weather was unsettled, when the sun came out as always it was pleasant and warm. But the b...

As has been said before, a week wont be enough. If it is peace and quiet you want then you have chosen the right place and the right time. We went on a dolphin trip last year from Lagos and we saw a good dozen dolphins...what an experience. They are just beautiful. As far as beaches are concerned, a...

If it does return I think you should call "Special Branch" !!

Zavial is a beautifull beach with a really nice little bar. Parking can get a bit tight in the summer. When my girlfriends are over we normally do a day out to Zavial. When you first get to the beach it doesn't look that big but if you venture around the little bit of rock sticking out you come to t...

As many have said on this and other pages the area is surounded by great beaches to suit all. We try to stay away from the busier ones ie the main town one etc. To endorce some of the others the remote one with the rope ladder even though a bit hairy is a real find as is the one I mentioned to the E...

Thats great SJ. Thanks for the secret !!! Destroyer, I think it is down to the individuals concerned. As long as everyone is fully aware of the situation then no harm done. I know where you are coming from though. If a chap does it his mates might think he is a top bloke, but women think he is a sh*...

HeeHee. I think a peek is better than a leek. I hate dyslexic fingers ! SallyJ I am sure your body is not as bad as you make out. People should not be body conscious, we are what we are. I am certainly not young and lithe and nor is my friend. We are just a couple of girls who have had found ourselv...

SallyJane-My gf and I stopped at the cafe one day that you and Griff mentioned we only had a soft drink but lots of people eating crepes...they looked good! You definitely wouldn't have seen any nuddys on that beach. Next time when you look at the cafe go to the left and walk over the rocks to the n...

Hi - New here, staying here for the summer helping look after a friends villa. Spent last year in Spain and loved the relaxing attitude to naked sunbathing there. A friend of mine told me about a little cove by Albandeira beach. Its fantastic I have been quite a few times now. Sometimes there are ma...
