When staying in Carvoeiro, exploring the coast is a necessity. And being centrally located, it is a perfect place from which to plan a coastal walk or drive.

Those looking to hike can join rambles or can discover the coastline at their own leisure, although a car is usually a good idea to find some of the best hiking spots. Families can take bikes along and cycle some of the same paths used for walking.

Discover some of the windy roads of the Algarve by car, but be sure to bring a camera to snap the many different points of view you will discover. Elsewhere, hitching a ride with a fisherman will show you the coast from a magnificent viewpoint.
