Praia da Salema, Algarve
While large-scale development has pretty much taken over Portugal’s southern coast, the fishing village of Salema has somehow managed to stay relatively the same.
In Praia da Salema, you’re not only treated to a fine-looking beach, but also to the lives of people who live nearby. You’ll see Fishermen tend to their nets, as you go for a relaxing swimming. Also, if you’re a huge fan of dinosaurs, their footprints can be found preserved in the limestone rocks found all over the area.
Facilities in the area are plentiful. You’ll find sun loungers and umbrellas for hire there, as well as toilets, showers, and a variety of restaurants and cafes.
