What travellers are saying
- Sunshine825299159 contributionsGreat service, we used many times during our holiday, flexible. If you miss your taxi you just take the next one, very easy. We decided to stay longer in Ferragudo one day and it was no hassle at all. Every captain was polite and knew what he was going. It felt more like a private boat ride than a taxi. We went to the Marina and Museum (port) as well.Written 18 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tinkle_24Northampton, UK1,770 contributionspristine clear waters and at low tide you can walk across the fortress to Praia Angrinha. Popular with locals who come with their children for a day out.Written 6 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RItraveler512Providence, RI4,365 contributionsWe visited place in the end of September.
Great views of cliffs and grottoes, Portimao and Ferragudo. We had a car and park near lighthouse. Also seen this place from the ocean during our Caves and Coastline Catamaran Cruise from Albufeira.Written 2 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great cafe restaurant by the car park. Good steps (lots of them) down to the sea and it's worth walking out on the breakwater.Written 17 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andym1889Sheffield17 contributionsThis 7-8 k walk / hike starts at either Praia do Carvoeiro on the headland above Carvoeiro or at Praia do Mohle near Ferrugodo.
I commenced the walk from Carvoeiro, the start being at the side of the bar/restaurant above the beach. Almost immediately you are faced with quite a steep descent into the first hanging valley aided by a rope handrail, the path here had been badly eroded by I presume recent storms which was a common theme throughout the walk when ascending / descending the valleys so care must be taken, not sure if the authorities employ rangers to keep an eye on these trails but if not it wouldn't take too much work to keep the scrub back off some paths and as previously stated keep an eye on the ascents/descents. Maybe it is because these nature walks are in their infancy?, but there is so much promise which could do wonders for our of season tourism! Like the 7 Hanging Valley walk walking shoes are a must, the trails can be a little rocky & slippery and it goes without saying to take plenty of water / sunscreen and most importantly to stay away from the cliff edges as there are no safety ropes/ rails.
The walk itself is fantastic scenery wise akin to the 7 Hanging Valley walk with lots of sinkhole and caves giving lots of photographic opportunities, there is also a restored Watch tower about 2/3rds of the way into the walk with a good interpretation panel alongside. The views are stunning along the coast with Portimao, Lagos and Sagres all visible.
Once at Praia do Mohle there is a beach bar which was open on my visit ( Late Nov ) which provided refreshments before returning back. There and back took about 3.5 - 4hrs allowing time for photos and is well recommended.
Carvoeiro is an excellent base for a short 3 night break allowing you to complete both walks, the village itself has plenty of bars/restaurants as well as a lovely beach.
Hope this helps !

Access is tidal and the time slot is short especially when the sea is rough and you do not want to get your stuff wet. There is a rope access to 8-10 metres but not for the faint hearted. Good facilities at the adjacent Caneiros beach (restaurant, bar & toilets).
Naturism practiced here without problems. Be prepared for non-naturists from Caneiros beach to wander by at low tide.Written 29 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Large wide screen TV that owner relocated outside under cover for the Champions League Final lots of seating and he even organised some pizzas for those that did not want to miss any of the game. Very enjoyable evening despite the score line.Written 30 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
