From Aljezur tourists can explore the wonderful beaches of the Algarve´s west coast, bathed by the Atlantic, they are often wild and deserted in contrast to the warmer ones of the south. Aljezur is small and tranquil, it is overlooked by a Moorish castle from the 10th century.

Time spent in Aljezur municipality is thus an opportunity to rediscover peace and tranquillity, to experience a silence broken only by singing birds or the crash of waves on the rocks and to savour the beauty of verdant fields, gentle slopes swathed in wild flowers and majestic cliffs with the pounding sea as backdrop.

The beaches of Arrifana and Monte Clérigo, sandy and surrounded by cliffs, are easily reached from the road just south of Aljezur; further north, on the border with the Alentejo, the beach of Odeceixe, near the village after which it was named, is sheltered, with the river Odeceixe entering the sea, and favoured by surfers.
