The stunning coastline of Carrapateira is only a twenty minute car journey from Lagos, Arrifana, Aljuzur and Sagres. Sagres is also a surfer’s paradise with the beaches of Tonel, Mareta, Baleeira and Martinhal, the latter being regarded as the best wind surfing location in Europe.

Historically, Sagres was known by sailors as 'Worlds End' and it is here where Henry the Navigator had his world famous school of navigation.
