Praia dos Alteirinhos is located on the coast of the municipality of Odemira, south of the village of Zambujeira do Mar. Nestled between high cliffs, access to the sandy beach involves descending a staircase, which contributes to its more secluded environment.
This place is known for its serene atmosphere, offering a peaceful refuge by the sea. The surrounding cliffs not only compose the landscape but also provide shelter, helping to make the beach more comfortable on windy days.
Praia dos Alteirinhos has a specific designation for the practice of naturism, particularly in its southern area. It is one of the beaches officially recognized in Portugal for this purpose, with this classification since 2008. There is also an area for more common use.
The natural scenery is one of this beach's strong points. The rock formations and imposing cliffs create a striking visual setting, characteristic of the Vicentine Coast, giving the sandy beach its own identity.
The water quality and environment of Praia dos Alteirinhos are officially recognized, proudly displaying the Blue Flag and the Gold Quality award granted by Quercus. During the defined bathing season, the beach provides a lifeguard service to ensure the safety of bathers in the supervised area.
