Carvoeiro is a beautiful, small town, especially when viewed from the hills on either side. It is layered with white-washed villas and buildings, which seem to undulate in harmony with the natural rocky landscape. The beach is small but ample and is fringed with seaside cafes and restaurants and still home to local fishermen whose boats complete the picture postcard scene.
Nearby you will find some great golf courses - The Pinta, Gramacho, Vale do Milho and Silves.
The best local beach is Praia Vale de Centianes. Not noticeable from the roadside you need to take a taxi from Carvoeiro for about £2 or walk there in about 20 minutes. There you can enjoy a secluded beach ideal for sunbathing and in the spring, autumn and winter almost entirely to yourself.
Carvoeiro is a great base to tour the Algarve region and we would recommend a car as the most cost effective way to do this.
