This third bunch of beaches in Vila do Bispo offers generally small but welcoming sandstrips, surrounded by cliffs with vegetation, with vistas of the atlantic sea. Some sit at the shore of a fishing village, while others are more remote and peaceful alternatives; there are some located at a river mouth, others are full of pebbles - there is great variety for you to choose. Here they are!
Praia da Fóia do Carro
The marvellous Praia da Fóia do Carro is a little known sandstrip surrounded by rock formations and cliffs full of vegetation, with great waters and fantastic sights. This beach is a bit remote, perfect for a more private and peaceful beach day. Pay attention to the tides when planning to visit to fully enjoy this spot, one of Vila do Bispo's gems!
