Praia Verde lives up to its name. Surrounded by a pine wood that reaches almost to the shore, it is one of the coolest and quietest beaches in the East Algarve — ideal for those escaping the bustle of the urban beaches.
What makes it special
Praia Verde stands out for the dense stone-pine woodland covering the dunes, creating areas of natural shade right behind the beach. You can spread your towel in the shade of the trees — a rarity in an increasingly arid Algarve.
The beach has a bar and toilets but keeps a calm, family atmosphere. The water is clean and the surf moderate, suitable for children.
The surrounding area has walking trails through the pine wood and the dunes, with interesting wildlife (lizards, rabbits, birds) — a natural extension of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.
