Sagres

Vila do Bispo
Beliche Beach featuring a sandy beach, general coastal views and caves
Relax on the beaches surrounding this historic town, go surfing on the impressive waves and enjoy the clifftop views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Sagres is a scenic coastal town overlooking the jagged cliffs of the southwesterly point of Portugal. It has a rich marine history due to its strategic position with access to the Americas, Africa and mainland Europe. Stroll along the narrow alleys of the charming town center for a sense of the local culture.

Make your way to Cabo de São Vicente west of the town and have a picnic on the tall cliffs offering an excellent view of the Atlantic Ocean. Gaze up at Cape St. Vicente Lighthouse and take a tour of its impressive convent complex.

This part of Portugal encounters hot summers and mild winters, providing ideal beach-going conditions. Relax on the soft sand of Mareta Beach, the main strand in Sagres. Its colorful cliffs shelter the bay from wind. Bring your board to the surfing haven of Tonel Beach and appreciate the year-round large swell and breakers.

Travel a little farther for utter seclusion and tranquility. Beliche Beach is known for its cliffs decorated with crevasses and caves. Explore the underwater grottoes near Martinhal Beach and take a boat to its namesake islets. Try some of the many activities available around the town, including surfing, hiking and cycling.

Consider the rich history of this outpost, which has long served as the gateway to mainland Europe. Admire the 600-year-old Sagres Fortress, which was built by national historical figure Prince Henry the Navigator. See the large wind compass and the Senhora da Graça chapel.

The town is on the southwestern cape that sticks out from the Algarve region of Portugal. It is the south-westernmost point of mainland Europe. Fly to Faro International Airport and drive west for 72 miles (116 kilometers) to get here in 1 to 2 hours. See nearby towns, such as Lagos and Portimão.

Sagres is a town with an ideal blend of history, scenery and tranquility.
