How to get to Praia do Castelejo
Getting to Praia do Castelejo is easy, specially if you are in the Algarve and have a car. From Sagres, take the M536 road towards Vila do Bispo. Once in Vila do Bispo, follow the signs to Praia do Castelejo. The road is well signposted and easy to follow.
One of the advantages of this beach is that It has a wide esplanade for parking. You will find several spots where you can leave your car comfortably without worrying about space.
Also, if you have some extra time, I recommend that you also visit the neighboring Praia da Cordoama. It is right next door and offers equally impressive scenery.

It is something unique, a combination of nature in its purest state and the majesty of the ocean that really takes your breath away.
One thing I noticed right away was the presence of strong winds. Yes, Praia do Castelejo is usually quite windy, this is due to its geographical location. But far from being a drawback, this adds a special touch to the experience, especially if you are a fan of surfing or other water sports.
What really makes this beach worthwhile is its wild character. If you are a nature lover, you will fall in love with Castelejo beach.
