Praia Verde

Nowadays regarded as one of the best destinations in the Algarve to live or to holiday, Praia Verde stands out due to the tranquillity and balance between the buildings, the pine trees and the overall natural environment. Located in the municipality of Castro Marim, between the beach of Alagoa to the west and the beach of Cabeço - Retur to the east, Praia Verde is sheltered by a forest of pine trees that grow downhill towards the beach, where one can see wild chameleons walking about. With its crystal clear water and white sand, Praia Verde is most definitely one of the gems of the Algarve. It holds traces of Roman ruins by the sea, including a well. This remarkable old well stands out against the expansive beach, looker taller from time to time, as the sea carries away the surrounding sand. The dunes are rich in flora: beach grass, beautiful sand lilies, fragrant straw flowers and further inland, bridal veils, a characteristic shrub of the eastern coast. The environment is warm, sunny and dry and the sea is calm and warm. The car park is surrounded by a gardened area with tourist facilities and offers a fantastic panoramic view over the sandy beach. The beautiful beach hotel offers a wonderful stay and one can enjoy a delicious meal by the sea.
