Where the river Ceixe meets the Atlantic, lies Odeceixe, technically already in the Algarve region. But this is not the typical Algarve you are used to. Odeceixe is well known for one of the largest and glorious beaches in Portugal, surrounded by giant tree-covered cliffs of a giant natural park. I’ve been there several times, but never stayed more than one full day. I REALLY want to come back not only for the top-notch local beach, but also to hike some of the cliffs in the surroundings. This is probably the best beach you’ll find in southwest Portugal. Fancy a roadtrip? Try SW Portugal! http://www.geekyexplorer.com/southwest-portugal-the-best-road-trip-to-take-this-summer/ #LikeALocal #Beach #Waves
