Description

The main beach of Praia de Odeceixe is situated at the mouth of the Rio de Seixe (River Seixe), right on the border between the Algarve and the Alentejo. This sandy beach is on the southern side of the outflow to the sea. The northern side of the river has a backdrop of steep cliffs which shelter the beach.[4] To the south of the main beach is a small cove with a sandy satellite beach called Praia de Adegas which has been designated a naturist beach.[5] Also to the south of the main beach is the small village of Praia de Odeceixe, from where a steep path descends to the beach.
