Praia da Figueira

This beach is tucked away in a secluded location, offering a serene and peaceful atmosphere that I found truly delightful. The journey to the beach was equally enjoyable, as the short walk allowed me to fully appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with this hidden gem and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The route suggested by Google to reach Figueira beach can be misleading as it leads to an interrupted path with no parking facilities. Moreover, the journey is accompanied by electric fences on both sides which can be a bit daunting for some. However, there is an alternative route that is well signposted and has ample parking space available directly from Figueira. This route is much easier and avoids the need to climb down a steep slope to reach the beach.

Prepare to embark on a journey to a hidden oasis of tranquility, where the waters are crystal clear and the sand is as soft as a baby's bottom. However, be warned that this paradise is not for the faint of heart, as it requires a 15-20 minute trek along rough, uneven terrain to reach. Don't fret though, the journey is well worth it, just make sure to pack enough supplies and take everything with you when you leave, as there are no bins to dispose of your waste. Word to the wise, avoid following Google Maps' driving route as it will lead you down a treacherous dirt track that leads to nowhere. Instead, make your way to Figueira village and follow the brown signpost pointing towards Figueira beach along R. Praia da Figueira. Once you reach the end of the narrow road, the car park will be obvious. So pack your bags, lace up your hiking boots, and get ready to experience the beauty of this secluded beach. Just remember to leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but memories.

Caution! Beware of tumbling rocks on the shoreline. The lack of supervision and a treacherous, cramped trail make for a hazardous journey. It's imperative to equip oneself with sturdy footwear and an ample supply of hydration.

This beach is simply stunning, with a peaceful and serene atmosphere that is hard to come by. It's not overrun with crowds, so you can enjoy the natural beauty without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. If you make the trek up to Figueira hill, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views that are truly picture-perfect. Overall, this is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves the great outdoors and wants to experience the beauty of nature in all its glory.
