Carrapateira

One of the most popular activities in Carrapateira is surfing. With its consistent waves, Praia do Amado is a surfer's paradise. If you're a beginner, don't worry! There are several surf schools in the area that offer lessons for all levels. If surfing isn't your thing, there are plenty of hiking trails that offer stunning views of the coastline and surrounding countryside. The Rota Vicentina is a 450-kilometer trail that stretches from Sines to Sagres and passes through Carrapateira. You can choose to hike a small section or complete the entire trail.

Carrapateira is also home to two breathtaking beaches: Praia do Amado and Praia da Bordeira. Both beaches are perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Praia da Bordeira is particularly popular with families because of its gentle waves and shallow waters. After a day at the beach, you can head to one of the village's cozy restaurants for some fresh seafood or traditional Portuguese dishes.
