Vale Figueiras Beach
10 Sarvina

To find Praia de Vale Figueiras, you'll need to be adventurous as Google Maps will take you off the main road and through a small residential area. Once you reach the end of the pavement, you'll find yourself in a farmland area where all signs of modern life slowly disappear. If you're brave enough to continue, you'll descend down a steep gravel road that hopefully leads to the beach. After about 2.5 kilometers, you may start to feel anxious due to the loss of cell service, but just as you're about to turn back, you'll see pavement again. Turning onto the blacktop will lead you to the parking lot for the beach. From there, a short walk will take you to the stunning Praia de Vale Figueiras. Don't forget to take it all in!
