Praia Verde

About

Praia Verde, or Green Beach, is a pristine Atlantic strip on the Alentejo coast in the municipality of Castro Marim. The beach runs alongside a lush pine forest that extends from its dune belt straight to the N125 highway, offering visitors a unique combination of wide sandy shore, calm waters and shaded woodland. The bay’s crystal‑clear, gentle waves make it a perfect spot for families, beach‑lifers and snorkellers seeking a relaxed environment. Praising its environmental stewardship, Praia Verde has earned the prestigious Blue Flag and Gold Flag awards, ensuring clean water, well‑maintained facilities, and a protected marine area. While parking can become scarce during peak season, the beach’s expansive shoreline and easy access roads allow visitors to quickly reach the sand and enjoy a day by the sea.
