Location:

Oliveirinha Beach is located south of Porto Covo, in the municipality of Sines, within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. The sandy stretch extends along low cliffs, with pioneer dune vegetation and a wide view over the Atlantic.

The surroundings are marked by an almost untouched coastal profile, where the meeting between the ocean and the rocky massif creates a perspective of serene isolation.

Rock Formations and Natural Pools

Rocks scattered in the water's edge create natural pools at low tide, inviting the observation of small fish, crabs, and colorful algae. This environment allows for direct contact with marine fauna, in a setting conducive to exploration.

The path through these rocky platforms offers distinct observation points, ideal for contemplating the crashing waves and discovering nooks with varied light and textures.

Atmosphere and Sensations

Without supervision or permanent structures, the beach preserves an atmosphere of tranquility. The rhythmic sound of the waves and the salty breeze create a peaceful environment, perfect for those seeking a moment of solitude by the sea.

In conditions of moderate swell, some areas reveal potential for surfing, while the extensive sandy area invites relaxed strolls or appreciation of the contrast between the sky and the horizon line.
