★★★★★
Fabian & Magdalena recommend
Wear sturdy shoes. The walk down is steep but absolutely worth it.
Best time
Go early in the morning. The trail is quieter and the light is beautiful.
Practical
Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo is considered by many locals to be the most beautiful beach in the region. Accessible only on foot, it has retained its untouched character. The reward is crystal-clear water, dramatic cliffs and one of Portugal's most photogenic beaches.
