Known for its beaches and ties to the ocean, the fishing village of Porto Covo is considered as one of the “hidden gems” of Europe. The village is full of small, whitewashed houses that date back to the 18th century. Porto Covo’s greatest attractions are the many beautiful beaches hidden and sheltered by sheer cliffs along the coast. There are a total of six beaches in the Porto Covo area. Praia Grande (big beach) is the most popular and easiest to get to. Since the village is crowded during summer, the best time to enjoy the beach is before or after the summer tourist season when you can enjoy one of Portugal’s finest beaches.
