"Oh Malhão, Malhão
Que vida é a tua?
Comer e beber, oh trim-tim-tim,
Passear na rua!"
O Malhão is an old traditional portuguese song, and these first lines is how the music starts. Truth be told, I never really checked any history behind the music (if there is any); so I don't know who Malhão is, or what does he do for a living... but I know where his beach is! 🙂
Praia do Malhão is a beautiful beach located in SW Portugal, a few km below Porto Covo. It's only accessible through a bumpy dirt road (short one, though), but it's definitely worth the visit.
There are a ton of wooden walkways to explore and view the entire beach from above, since a huge trail that follows almost the entire SW coast - Rota Vicentina - passes here too; that means that are a lot of people just passing by, doing the walking trail.
For the ones that decide to go down to the clear sand, a huuge clear sandy beach awaits, bathed by the rough atlantic ocean.
The beach is divided between north and south beach, although practically speaking there isn't any division. The north part also has a naturistic part, if skinny dipping/sunbathing is your thing. Whatever part you choose, the beautiful view is the same.
Shallow pools appear between the rocky formations, cool if you have kids that like to explore. You may even catch some dinner! Mussels, anyone?
These seemed a little too small, but I'm pretty sure that in this rock there were a few with a decent size for the pan already. And as I walked along the rock, realised someone had the same opinion as me!
I was just planning to have a nice relaxed morning, so I've followed my path. Fortunately, the wind that can sometimes blow strong here was just a tiny tiny breeze, enough to cool a bit but without being unpleasant.
And yes, the water was still freaking cold! But cold water and rough sea is a given in this part of the country... and it's still perfect as it is! So if you like to explore beaches, put this one on your list. 😉
Exactly my kind of beach. Full of natural beauty, vast, wild, pristine and... peopleless! :) Thanks for taking me there through these lovely shots, very nice place ;)

You would love this part of the portuguese coastline! And this one is kind of a known beach, there are several smaller ones equally beautiful, where you would likely be alone in this time of the year! Hope everything is fine on that end. Cheers, mate! !BEER
I can imagine :) Happened to me a few times on Sao Miguel too, I mean finding myself on a beach where there was literally nobody else but me :)
Are you going to the HiveFest?
Not this year; still considered it, but abandoned the idea a month ago, the timing was bad. Now seeing all the action in Hivefest telegram channel I'm more and more sorry for not going; and to top it up, loved Croatia when I visited. Maybe next year! Are you going to Split?
Yeah, same here. I love Croatia, I would love to meet all the amazing people again but bad timing for me too. Just too much stuff happening IRL :( Let´s read all those exciting HiveFest reports from the lucky ones who could go at least ;)
Even the telegram channel alone is enough for withdrawal symptoms! :)) Glad for all the Hivefest posts!

Aiiii a praia do Malhão😁 Já estivemos aí este ano! Linda, menos a estrada para aí chegar! Não estava era tão vazia. Mas linda como sempre 😊
O SW tem as praias mais fixes... eu como normalmente vou fora das épocas de pico costumo apanhá-las assim, quase só para mim!
Praia espetacular! Aproveita!
Aproveitando! Praias brutais aqui não faltam. 😉
Já vi pela amostra que já deste! Abraço, moçoilo!
Beautiful beach 😍 love the walk ways and the tide pools.
This area is filled with amazing beaches! This one is a tiny sample. 😉
