Roaming through Portugal’s rugged coast? Porto Covo is where you want to be! 🌊☀️ The highlight for me was hiking out to Ilha de Pessegueiro — about 40-60 minutes’ walk from town — and unwinding right in front of its endless, sandy beach with island views in the distance. Absolute summer daydream!
Must-See Spots:
1. Ilha de Pessegueiro: Take the well-marked walking trail from Porto Covo and you’ll discover sandy shores, rolling waves, and endless views. Bring sunscreen: There’s almost no shade, but the serenity is worth it!
2. Parque de Campismo da Ilha do Pessegueiro (Estrada da Ilha): Sleep right by the ocean! This simple campsite puts you steps from the water, so wake up early for a sunrise stroll before the crowds.
Practical Tip: The hike from Porto Covo is easy but bring solid shoes since paths can get rocky. If you want a peaceful beach experience, start before midday — afternoons get busier.
How To Get Around:
Most spots are walkable! If you’re carrying gear or camping equipment, consider a local taxi for the last stretch. The main road (Estrada da Ilha) is the route to the campsite.
Eat & Drink:
Head back to Porto Covo village for casual seafood (try grilled sardines at local cafés!) and sweet pastries. No big supermarkets, so pick up snacks in advance for camp days.
Extra Tips: Midsummer here is hot and dry; pack layers for the wind. The only cash machine is in Porto Covo village, so plan accordingly.
