Beautiful bay, which is surrounded on both sides by rock walls. The descent down could be a bit slippery, but it's worth it.

February 6, 2024,Fishermen‘s Trail | Odeceixe - Zambujeira do mar

On my trip through Portugal I treated myself to a section of the Fishermen's Trail. Really an incredibly beautiful long-distance hiking trail that I can only recommend. The perspectives on the Atlantic are always changing, beautiful beaches, cliffs and small villages. That made me want more.

November 1, 2023,Fischerweg 🇵🇹 # 5 - Zambujeira do Mar > Odeceixe

The same challenge every morning 🙄: Due to the double time change, I'm awake by 6 a.m. at the latest and have to wait until either a café ☕ opens at 7 a.m. or breakfast in the accommodation maps.app.goo.gl/QQHgdE8o6Ysof6zA6 ready. Today the last time was at 8 a.m.

October 10, 2025,Fischerpfad 5. Etappe: Zambujeira do Mar nach Odeceixe

Stage 5 was quite a challenge, with sandy paths and some scrambling. Everything was a bit more strenuous with the heavy backpack.
Thanks to low tide, I was able to cross the Rio Seixe, saving about 7 km through Odeceixe to my accommodation at Praia da Ocedeixe.

September 29, 2022,Von Zambujeira nach Odeceixe

It's supposed to be 15 km to Odeceixe today, assuming we arrive at 2 p.m. High tide is around 5pm, then we can't wade through the Seixe anymore as our accommodation is on the other side of the river, that means 6km extra! Today is climbing day, narrow paths up and down. In one plantation we deviate from the Rota …

October 5, 2023,20231005 🇵🇹 Algarve: Fishermen Trail - Zambujeira - Odeceixe Mill

Today's tour was really wonderful. Very varied, great views, beautiful beaches, a nice stop. Some of it went through small forests and there were even small streams. For the first time there were veiled clouds in the afternoon, but also interesting light. Luckily we had parked a second car at the river mouth and didn't end up having to walk …

September 9, 2022,Odeceixe nach Zambujeira do Mar...Fisherman`s Trail, Tag 6

Today not so much sand but no less demanding.
We also ran in the opposite direction today, i.e. north. But there are no directional recommendations for hiking the trail.
We started from Odeceixe, at the Seixe river parking lot. Our new domicile is opposite and this wonderful location has the disadvantage that the hike is about 4 km longer. On …
