A beach with a wide stretch of sand. On its northern part one may see the transition from the rocky cliffs to the wide dunes that almost reach the sea. That area is quite attended by naturists. On the southern part there is a brook that separates the sand from the road and from the cliff. At times, a lagoon is formed between th road and the beach, a place where the children may play safely. It is excellent for surfing. Nearby, there are vestiges of an 18th century fortress, mesozoic formations and valuable fossile reefs.

Situated in the village of Carrapateira, this museum is a cultural space that focuses on local development and belongs to the new generation of community-oriented local museums. Also features the problem of insertion of traditional activities on the future of local communities.

Located in the historic area of this small town, the museum has two parts. In the Archaeological area, it exhibits archaeological findings related to the people who lived here since the caves days to the Bronze Age and the Muslim occupation. In the Ethnography part, it contains a collection of agricultural utensils. In the same building, one can also visit the Municipal Art Gallery.

Situated since 1995 at St Anthony’s chapel (Capela de Santo António), a building located in Aljezur’s historical centre, this museum exhibits works offered by official and private entities. Special mention goes to the paintings, old engravings, books, coins and medals and prints.

Fort built to protect the local fishermen. At present it is in ruins but affords a beautiful panoramic view of the Vincentina coastline.

16th century church, rebuilt during the 18th century after the 1755 earthquake. A renaissance doorway remains from the original build. The church has an extremely simple interior comprising only one nave and triumphal arch. Currently, in one of the wings of this temple, works the sacred art museum Monsenhor Manuel Francisco Pardal.

Human occupation at this site dates back to the Iron Age. The castle is built on a hillock overlooking a brook, and it was used to protect the river port (that established a connection between the town and the sea) and to defend the local population from enemy attack. Two towers form part of the vast walled defence structure. From the top of the defensive walls one can see the plain and the hills that roll right up to Monte Clérigo beach.
