This beach is located on the Algarve coast, in the area adjacent to Aldeia Nova, within the municipality of Vila Real de Santo António. It is specifically situated to the west of the more central area of Monte Gordo, bordered by a vast expanse of pine forest that separates it from urban areas.
It is a stretch of sand that extends along the southern coast of Portugal, bathed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Adão e Eva Beach is characterized as an ocean beach that offers a very spacious sandy area. Its strip of sand is wide, stretching for about a kilometer, and displays the light tone that is characteristic of this region of the Algarve coast.
The generous size of the sandy area provides a beach experience marked by tranquility, even during peak times.
The beach's setting is defined by an extensive pine forest, part of the Monte Gordo Forest Nursery. This green patch not only frames the landscape but is also an essential habitat for local fauna.
It is in this area that one of the rare chameleon populations in Portugal can be found, giving the surrounding area of the beach a special interest due to its uniqueness and biodiversity.
Over the years, Adão e Eva Beach has been recognized for the excellent quality of its bathing water, accumulating several awards that confirm its healthiness.
This spot is often sought out by visitors who long for a calmer environment and direct contact with nature, thus distinguishing itself from busier beaches.
