With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Sines, 17 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Sao Torpes Beach, Vasco de Gama Beach and Vasco da Gama Statue. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Aljezur, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Arrifana Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Monte Clerigo Beach and Canal Beach.)
