Stranden van het Lagoa-district

Ferragudo naar Carvoeiro naar Senhora da Rocha

De Lagoa-camera (district) heeft een van de hoogste dichtheid aan stranden / baaien in de Algarve en misschien in Portugal, zo'n 30+. Niet al deze stranden zijn te voet bereikbaar, sommige alleen per boot, vele zijn afhankelijk van de getijden en zelfs sommige die te voet bereikbaar zijn, hebben een bepaalde moeilijkheidsgraad.

Het promoten van het gebied en Portugal is niet alleen een taak voor ons, maar ook een passie die veel klanten erkennen en hieronder willen we graag zoveel mogelijk van de 30+ stranden / baaien in het Lagao-district delen. Deze starten vanuit Ferragudo in het westen, passeren Carvoeiro en eindigen in Senhora da Rocha in het oosten van de wijk

Houd er rekening mee dat de exacte namen van sommige stranden kunnen verschillen en we zullen corrigeren wanneer we de exacte informatie hebben (details verstrekt door derden. Stranden kunnen veranderen door kusterrosie)

Located between Praia Grande Ferragudo and Praia de Molho.  Easiest is to walk towards the west of the car park for Praia do Molho and follow the path along and down.  There are some steps down to the beach.  Exactly around lowtide for exploring and is inside the harbour walls.

Praia do Molhe

Praia de Molho

Follow the coastal road from Ferragudo to Carvoeiro and signposts to Pintadinho, then you will see at the end Praia de Molhe.  There are about 151 steps down, with two beaches.  The left is open sea and popular with surfers.  To the right is inside the harbour walls and much calmer.  This is a favourite place for me to go and walk the Molhe (jetty) and take photos, especially at sunset.
