Praia do Carvalhal, Carvalhal

Our family favourite beach! It has it all...starting with the clear quality water and fine sand with the facilities of the beach, organised car park (paid) and supported by 2 excellent restaurants and a coffee bar. Parasol is available for hire. Great extension of sand, Children love it (even has a little Wendy house) a little library and friendly staff (lifeguards, park and restaurants). If you are lucky you might even see dolphins pass it through (seen once)

Really good beach!!! Totally recommended for all family!!! Since this is the county where I was born I can tell that it is my first choice when it comes to recommend beach. Two cafes/restaurant and beach bar to support visitors. Two outdoor showers to help with getting rid of the sand. The car park unfortunately it is paid but it is big enough. The near village has enough services like ATM, Mini Market, restaurants, shops and new services are being developed for tourism purposes. Locals are friendly even though sometimes might struggle to speak English, you're probably better off trying to speak with a younger person which had English lessons at school. Overall a must for someone visiting the area!

It's clean, the water is translucent and the sea is not too dangerous. It's no special breach for surfing but it is fun to swim. It has a restaurant near and a place to read

Wonderful beach, as are most of the beaches on this coast! Unfortunately, on this day there was a fishing competition and access to the sea proved tricky. Good restaurants (2) and ample parking, both payed (closer) and free. We'll worth a visit!

One of the most beautiful beaches I've been 😎
