(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Hello, I´ve been to Milfontes a few times, this magic village is in Alentejo coast not in Algarve coast, there is a great difference, waves and culture, between the two regions.
Milfontes is for sure the most beautiful coast line in Portugal there is about 10 different spots you can surf near the village, you can choose from clean water reef barrels to 250 meter long reef waves, sandbars or giant waves with the right swell, you can camp or stay in a resort prices are nice the food is good and you will notice that the people are nice and mellow they won't try to suck your money like in some tourist áreas, in Milfontes you will be treated like a human being not like a tourist. Great waves, good food and great people.”
