Route map 🗺
There isn't one on All Trails, but this is a longer, but similar route that includes walking on the beach (note this makes it harder and much less access friendly): Praia Grande e Praia da Pêra on AllTrails https://www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/portugal/faro/praia-grande-e-praia-da-pera?sh=ibu9d6
Route description 🔍
Beautiful & easy to walk on with friends and children alike. Great scenery and safe.
Parking info 🚙
Free parking at either end, as well as at multiple locations on the route. The Armação de Pêra end is harder to find a parking space at currently (Jan 2025) due to building work.
Tips/tricks/advice... 🤘
Some of it is protected from the wind by the sand dunes so it's not a bad option if it's a windy day.
Coffee recommendations ☕
Zimzala Surf Culture Café
Food recommendations 🍴
Also Zimazala or A Sardinha on Arrifes beach (Praia dos Arrifes) which is about a 10-15min drive away.
Pub recommendations 🍻
Not the one in Portugal :), but there are more bars than you can count at the main beach fronts.
