Are you feeling the heat already ? If not, you will be after you see this delicious looking beach that’s just asking you for a swim.
Welcome to yet another post in the quick bite category, which focuses on must-see places in Portugal, in a fast, get-going fashion, so you’re up and ready in the shortest amount of time possible.
In this post we’re going to talk about the “Ribeiro do Cavalo” hidden beach. This beach as long been used by travel agencies to promote their trips to Portugal, so this might give you the slightest idea of how good this beach is.
Impressed already? yeah, i bet so; this beach is truly a hidden gem, and the water is unusually warm, which makes it that much better.
There are, arguably, two downsides to this wonderful place thought, and they both have to do with actually getting to the beach itself. In order to access the beach you’ll have to park your car on a dirt road, hike for short while amongst vegetation, and then make your way down a semi-steep hill which finally gets you there, and although this downward climb is nothing too crazy, it does require some caution, and takes a fair amount of time to accomplish, specially when going up, so don’t realistically expect to be going back and forth to your car. In short, wear good, comfortable shoes (no sandals or any close relatives), take a cooler with all your food and drinks (but beware of its weight, especially if you’re alone), and take everything you’ll need for you day at the beach right of the bat.
This location will take you to the dirt road where you’ll have to park your car, and here’s the trail you should expect on your quest for this amazing beach:
I wish you all a good swim!
