Porto Covo, Portugal
Porto Covo (or Porto Côvo), located in the Alentejo coast of Portugal, is a tiny fishing village. Populated only by over 1000 people, it’s a hidden gem. With access to the beautiful beaches, sheltered by the jagged rocks and colourful old quarter, it makes a nice place to visit during the road trip around Portugal.

Porto Covo is known for its pretty beaches and the connection to the ocean. Its name translates to the “port of covos”, which means the port of the fishing nets, that are used to capture crabs and lobsters. Not a surprise, since the town is a fishing village and has some of the best seafood restaurants around.

Praia da Samoqueira

This beautiful and rugged Alentejan beach is located just a few kilometres north of Porto Covo. As well as a good stretch of golden sand it also has masses to explore. There are caves, rock formations, a huge low tide pool and even a waterfall.

Despite its wilderness feel Praia da Samoqueira is quite popular and relatively easily reached.
