Praia do Cavalo is located on the coast of the municipality of Odemira, integrated within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. This beach is situated in the Almograve area, bathed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
It is a place marked by the presence of high cliffs, which define its physiognomy and contribute to a sense of greater seclusion and contact with nature.
This beach is characterized by a small sandy area, where the sand mixes with the presence of pebbles. One of the most notable aspects of the landscape is the vast rocky areas that become visible at low tide.
These rocky formations invite exploration. The beach is also crossed, in its central area, by a small stream that flows into the sea, adding a dynamic element to the coastal landscape.
Given its size and location, Praia do Cavalo offers a tranquil and less crowded environment. The natural surroundings, dominated by cliffs and coastal vegetation, contribute to a serene atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a place of rest and contemplation by the sea.
Praia do Cavalo is also known locally by another name: Praia do Prédio. The more common name, "Praia do Cavalo" (Horse Beach), is associated with ancient narratives and legends of the region, which tell stories about the presence of wild horses in the surrounding areas.
This coastal strip has, historically, connections to the life of local fishing communities, who over time have learned to coexist with the particularities of this coastline.
Visiting Praia do Cavalo allows you to explore the tidal pools that form in the rocky areas at low tide, observing marine life. It's a pleasant place to walk by the sea, sunbathe, or simply relax, enjoying the sound of the waves.
The natural characteristics and scenic beauty of the cliffs make it a point of interest for nature lovers and for those who enjoy photographing coastal landscapes, especially at sunrise or sunset.
