Praia das Fontainhas

This is a very beautiful hike, a very interesting area. It is at times a challenging terrain to walk on with loose gravel and steep climbs but on the whole it is manageable for most fitness levels. The views you get from near the edges are well worth the effort as hopefully you can see from the photographs we have included there is also local tour guides that can show you the area pointing out interest in nature terms. One we used was pernatur

Beautiful beach. The access is a bit hard, not for everyone, so there were fewer people.

Praia das Fontainhas is a fantastic bathing beach, BUT special attention must be paid to the fact that this beach is not suitable for older and small children who can not swim. It is somewhat cumbersome to get down to the beach, with a narrow and steep access path. You will have to park your car about 10-15 minutes from the beach, so a short walk will be necessary. It is a quiet and cozy beach, so noise is considered rude. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water and take all your waste with you. 👍😎🇩🇰

Great hidden beach! You need to hike down a little steep trail, but not too bad. The water is surprisingly nice, and not a lot of people in the middle of August.

The most beautiful beach I've been to so far. Not easy to get to, but thanks to difficult access the beach it's quiet enough ❤🙌🏻🏖🌞☀🌞

Beautiful and secluded beach.
Keep in mind the difficult, steep, slippery access. Might be easier by kayaking or swimming in that case.
If you have your balance in order and have the proper footwear, it should be okay, though.

Our 3 year old did this hike. The hike is just sketchy enough to keep away 90% of people, but it’s actually fairly easy and short. Beautiful beach with no services. Almost nobody there.

Beautiful beach and perfect for wild camping (even though it’s illegal but it’s far so no one will bother you)! Hidden but easy to access by walking from Albandeira beach, it’s a 5-10 minutes walk.. Well recommended to visit, not many people here

Nice quite beach during August, compared to others. Accessible by car/scooter on tricky gravel road and also by hike. The terrain is not too intense for a hike.

Beautiful peaceful beach. Steep narrow steps/slope to get onto the beach so not great for those with mobility issues. Very clean beach. Seaweed free. Lovely place to swim

Super nice beach. You walk down on the right side. A bit steep. I'ts clothing optional.

Very clean and relaxing beach, a bit tricky to get to unless you have a 4x4

Amazing place. Hard to get too but worth if. Because I'm worth it!......

Great place to visit. Came here on an excursion. Stunning.

Steep well worn path down to the beach. Stays fairly quiet very nice. No facilities on the beach.

Beautiful little beach and stunning part of the coast. Can have it all to yourself if you’re willing to climb a little and go at the right time of year

Fantastic hike along the cliffs, might even be better by kayak from a beach either side but stunning just to walk along the top admiring the view. Towering cliffs make your realise just how small and insignificant we really are.
Timeless and beautiful.

Great beach!

Wonderful private beach, go if you have the chance.. Very peaceful in May as only a few people present

Perfect spot
