The Alentejo Coast – Beaches, Surf & Nature
The Alentejo coast is one of Portugal’s most beautiful and unspoilt regions, known for its wild beaches, dramatic cliffs, and relaxed pace of life.
Just a 15-minute drive from Windmill Hill, you’ll find some of the best beaches in Alentejo, including Porto Covo and Vila Nova de Milfontes. These coastal towns offer a mix of long sandy beaches, hidden coves, and excellent conditions for surfing, with consistent waves throughout the year. This makes the area especially attractive for surfers looking for less crowded spots compared to the Algarve.
Beyond the coast, the Alentejo countryside offers a rich mix of nature, culture, and gastronomy. Enjoy walking and cycling through rolling landscapes, visit traditional villages and local markets, or discover regional wines, cheeses, and fresh seafood.
Cercal do Alentejo itself is a charming and authentic village, where you can experience everyday Portuguese life. With its local cafés, bakeries, and restaurants, it provides everything you need within easy reach while staying away from mass tourism.
Whether you’re looking for outdoor activities, beach days, or simply a place to slow down and disconnect, the Alentejo offers a unique and genuine Portuguese experience.
