- Dave PulsNottingham, UK2,189 contributionsThe beach is not the best in the area, but the parking is excellent and the viewpoint is well worth the drive. Great cafe restaurant by the car park. Good steps (lots of them) down to the sea and it's worth walking out on the breakwater.Written February 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RItraveler512Providence, RI4,233 contributionsWe visited place in the end of September.
Great views of cliffs and grottoes, Portimao and Ferragudo. We had a car and park near lighthouse. Also seen this place from the ocean during our Caves and Coastline Catamaran Cruise from Albufeira.Written November 2, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I commenced the walk from Carvoeiro, the start being at the side of the bar/restaurant above the beach. Almost immediately you are faced with quite a steep descent into the first hanging valley aided by a rope handrail, the path here had been badly eroded by I presume recent storms which was a common theme throughout the walk when ascending / descending the valleys so care must be taken, not sure if the authorities employ rangers to keep an eye on these trails but if not it wouldn't take too much work to keep the scrub back off some paths and as previously stated keep an eye on the ascents/descents. Maybe it is because these nature walks are in their infancy?, but there is so much promise which could do wonders for our of season tourism! Like the 7 Hanging Valley walk walking shoes are a must, the trails can be a little rocky & slippery and it goes without saying to take plenty of water / sunscreen and most importantly to stay away from the cliff edges as there are no safety ropes/ rails.
The walk itself is fantastic scenery wise akin to the 7 Hanging Valley walk with lots of sinkhole and caves giving lots of photographic opportunities, there is also a restored Watch tower about 2/3rds of the way into the walk with a good interpretation panel alongside. The views are stunning along the coast with Portimao, Lagos and Sagres all visible.
Once at Praia do Mohle there is a beach bar which was open on my visit ( Late Nov ) which provided refreshments before returning back. There and back took about 3.5 - 4hrs allowing time for photos and is well recommended.
Carvoeiro is an excellent base for a short 3 night break allowing you to complete both walks, the village itself has plenty of bars/restaurants as well as a lovely beach.
Hope this helps !

Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - northwalesnaturistAnglesey, UK1,321 contributionsThis is a small rectangular beach surrounded by golden cliffs on 3 sides. Access is tidal and the time slot is short especially when the sea is rough and you do not want to get your stuff wet. There is a rope access to 8-10 metres but not for the faint hearted. Good facilities at the adjacent Caneiros beach (restaurant, bar & toilets).
Naturism practiced here without problems. Be prepared for non-naturists from Caneiros beach to wander by at low tide.Written September 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A number of chapels for quiet meditation.Written May 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Extraordinary7253805 contributionsThis is a great activity to do when visiting the Algarve.
Carla is friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and makes for a very good host. We exchanged great stories about our own countries and our travel history, it is great to chat and work at the same time.
The workshop includes history on tile painting in Portugal which is very interesting, plus 2 of your own tiles to paint. Carla has templates for her own designs and traditional designs, or you can completely create your own design. Carla will help with any drawing where needed if you’re not the best (like me!)
Carla is able to ship the times to you as well if you don’t have time on your visit to go back to collect - but it will cost around 20-30€
Overall a fantastic experience, would recommend for solo travellers any any groups as well.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
