It is one of the beaches of Sesmarias settlement, just 2.1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, surrounded by the cliffs.

It is a spacious bay with crystal turquoise water and bright sand, so you don't need special shoes. The entrance to the water is quite sharp. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers, hikers etc. It is almost deserted place even during the high season.

Praia da Afurada coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities, sea kayaking.

15 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Praia de Carvoeiro, which has a rating of 8.5.

Praia da Afurada (Algarve) is located outside the Sesmarias settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Praia da Afurada, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

Nestled within a protected cove lies a stunning beach, distinguished by its blue flag status. The serene waters are shielded from the open sea, providing a tranquil environment for relaxation and recreation. The natural beauty of this beach is simply breathtaking, making it a must-visit destination for any beach enthusiast.

4 Frustrating

This so-called beach is a real treat for those who enjoy risking their lives on vertical cliffs or paddling for hours on end in a kayak. Once you've finally arrived, you'll be greeted by a rocky expanse that looks like every other beach you've ever seen. So if you're looking for a unique and enjoyable seaside experience, look elsewhere.

6 Pleasant

The path to the beach may not be marked, but it's worth the effort to find it. A quick stroll over the rocks, some of which may be slick from the ocean's spray, will lead you to a secluded stretch of sand. While not the easiest access, the seclusion and tranquility of the beach make it a must-visit spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Just be sure to watch your step along the way.
