Short walk through the Monte Velho pine forest, then return via the beach. Difficulty walking in the sand on the return journey. It is possible to return by walking along the dune rather than down it and walking on the beach. The path is marked with signs.

Other walks in the area
From Porto-Covo to Vila Nova de Milfontes
This first stage of the Alentejo coastal trails has the highest proportion of sandy sections. As a result, it can seem challenging. Nevertheless, it offers superb panoramic views throughout, especially along the cliffs.
Coastal trails of the Alentejo and Algarve
A north-south route from Porto Covo to Cabo de São Vincente (Cape St Vincent), the westernmost point of continental Europe, followed by a west-east route to Lagos. The various stages mainly follow the coastal path known as the fishermen's path, often along the edge of cliffs with superb panoramic views. The route also passes inland, notably taking the historic path through the countryside. The route also allows you to discover charming little towns, with their white houses decorated with blue trim and charming little churches.
