Praia do Canal

Praia do Canal is located in the municipality of Aljezur, northwest of the Algarve, on the western coast of Portugal. The shore is indicated as a pebbly beach, at 37.27056, -8.86026. It is situated 10.8 km southwest of the village of Aljezur and 105.6 km from Faro by road, within the natural park of the Vicentine coast. Therefore, it is a choice to consider if you are looking for a coastal area more directly linked to the protected landscape than to a seaside resort. To organize the outing, also compare Praia do Penedo at 2.1 km, Praia de Vale Figueira at 3.9 km, and Praia de Coelha at 7.1 km. Before leaving, check the local conditions of the day, the exact access, and any possible hours on-site.
