Praia de Odeceixe
A beach where the Seixe River meets the sea, forming a double-sided beach: calm river water on one side and Atlantic waves on the other, a picture-perfect view.
Praia de Odeceixe lies at the northernmost tip of the Algarve, on the border with Alentejo, where the Seixe River winds between high cliffs into the sea, forming a wide sandbar. At low tide, the river side is shallow and calm, suitable for children to play in the water, while the ocean side is good for surfing. A viewpoint at the cliff top captures an S-shaped panorama of the river and beach. Admission is free. It is about 3 km from Odeceixe village and about 1 hour by car from Lagos, and it can be combined with a day trip to Aljezur.
