01 / THE COAST

850 km of
Atlantic.

Portugal's coastline is a collection of completely different landscapes. Long sandy beaches, hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, surf breaks and quiet islands all exist along the same Atlantic edge.

The Algarve alone stretches for roughly 200 kilometres of beaches, while the west coast offers a much wilder character and long protected stretches of nature.
