The picturesque scenery of the beach was breathtaking. However, the presence of seaweed and pesky gnats marred our experience. Perhaps, it was due to the time of year - late September. Within a mere five minutes, our feet were completely covered with them. Despite this, we managed to stay for two hours. The boat tours that depart from this beach to explore the caves appeared to be reasonably priced. We are hoping that the seaweed and gnats will soon vanish, so that we can fully enjoy the beauty of this beach.

The beach is simply breathtaking, with stunning cliffs that add to its natural beauty. What's even better is that it's not as crowded as other popular beaches, so you can truly relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. This hidden gem is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a serene getaway.

My family and I ventured to Praia do Vale de Centeanes, a stunning beach that left us all in awe. Accompanied by our little furry friend, Vinnie, we made our way to the only restaurant on the beach where we were pleasantly surprised by the kindness of the staff. Despite ordering only three drinks, we were charged for only two as the fourth drink, a bottle of water for Vinnie, was on the house! As we settled at a table, sipping on freshly squeezed orange juice, we were treated to a breathtaking view of the ocean. The friendly staff made us feel at home, and we enjoyed our time in the shade, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere. We left feeling content and already planning our next visit. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious meals, and those interested can also book cave tours by boat, launching from the same beach. My wife had previously experienced the tour and highly recommended it. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon spent at Praia do Vale de Centeanes, and we look forward to returning in the future.

The Algarve boasts of a magnificent beach that we had the pleasure of visiting after exploring Agar Seco. The sandy shore is adorned with numerous rocks that add to its beauty. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming and diving, making it an ideal spot for water enthusiasts. At the far end of the beach lies a hidden cave, which adds to the allure of this place. We highly recommend this beach to anyone seeking a serene and picturesque spot to unwind.
