The Beaches of Comporta

Comporta is on Portugal’s Alentejo coast, about an hour south of Lisbon. Here, rice fields, umbrella pines, and dune grass lead to some of Europe’s most untouched Atlantic beaches. The beaches are wide, with soft golden sand, and rarely crowded.

Praia da Comporta, close to the village, is a favorite spot. Since 2002, Ilha do Arroz has been a simple go-to, and Comporta Café Beach Club is a great place to unwind.

A bit further south, Praia do Carvalhal is often called the best of the more developed beaches and is home to the Sublime Comporta Beach Club. This small beach shack keeps its relaxed style with wooden tables, ceramic lights, and ocean views from every seat. It’s a good idea to come for lunch and stay until sunset.
