Surprised by the beautiful golden sand beach but without tourists

Beautiful golden sand beach in the fishing village of Salema (Portugal)

Tucked away in the western Algarve, Salema is one of Portugal's fishing villages that has so far escaped the attention of international tourists .

Stepping onto a deserted golden beach, this is one of the quietest spots in the Algarve: no noisy crowds, loud music or rubbish, just the soothing sound of gentle ocean waves.

Far from the bustling tourist hotspots of Albufeira and Lagos, Salema – with its pristine white houses, vibrant bougainvillea vines and narrow cobblestone streets – offers a peaceful retreat.

This is a small fishing village, and it is not uncommon to see a few boats sailing out to sea to catch fish. The locals still maintain a deep connection to the ocean, and fishing is still an integral part of their daily lives. Historical artifacts such as old fishing nets and traditional wooden boats can still be seen along the beach.

Sunset at Praia da Santa beach

The heart of Salema is the stunning Praia da Santa beach. This wide stretch of golden sand, surrounded by yellow cliffs, offers crystal clear waters ideal for swimming, snorkeling and sailing. The western side of the beach is surrounded by limestone cliffs, revealing interesting rock formations and tidal pools rich in marine life at low tide.

While Salema is the perfect place to relax and unwind, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained. The calm, clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and stand-up paddle boarding. For surfers, some of Europe’s top surfing beaches are located on the west coast of the Algarve, just a short drive from Salema!.

Kayak rentals are also available for those looking to explore the shoreline and discover hidden coves along the undulating coastline.

For walkers, coastal trails offer stunning views of the vast Atlantic Ocean and lead to deserted beaches such as Praia das Furnas and Praia da Figueira.

For something a little more adventurous, consider taking a boat tour along the coast. Samema Tours offers dolphin-watching trips and tours to the awe-inspiring Benagil sea cave.
