Nearby beaches

Monte do Cansado is 15 minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of the eastern Algarve. Fábrica beach in Cacela-a-Velha is our favourite. It is located in the middle of the Ria Formosa nature reserve and about 10 km from our house. In 2015 it was voted one of the “Top 10 European Beaches by Foot” by the English Guardian. The Spanish magazine Condé Nast Traveler also voted Fábrica 2015 one of the 15 most beautiful beaches in the world. If you travel with kids, you will love Praia do Barril. The buildings of this former tuna fishing station were transformed into bars and restaurants and you can rent pedal boats and catamarans directly on the beach. The children will love the small train that takes you from the mainland through the Ria Formosa nature reserve to this long and sandy beach.

Spring and winter are the best seasons for a hiking holiday while the months from May to mid October are the perfect time for a beach holiday.
