Local Beaches

Vila do Bispo itself has two beaches, Castelejo and Cordoama.  The area´s coastline, which extends to the north and east of Cabo de São Vicente (Cape St. Vincent) is dotted with more than 20 beaches.

Some are sandy coves hidden at the foot of cliffs, others broad expanses of sand that stretch away to the horizon.   Each has its own particular charm. All invite you to discover them and to rediscover peace and solitude.
