Sagres

Sagres, perched on a headland at the westernmost point of the Algarve, was once thought to be the edge of the known world before the discovery of the Americas. This historic fishing town is now a popular destination for surfers drawn to its golden-sand beaches and powerful Atlantic waves. Nearby, Cape Saint Vincent (Cabo de São Vicente) offers dramatic views of rugged cliffs battered by the relentless ocean. Visitors can explore the scenic coast, enjoy the vibrant surf culture, and immerse themselves in the area’s rich maritime history.
