Praia Grande de Porto Covo — Attraction in Sines

Perfect location. We ventured into Grande Porto Covo Beach and then the restaurant actually looking for a washroom post our camping (in our camper van) at a near by beach overnight. As per Portugal policies we ordered a coffee so we can use the washroom. We met a very pleasing and smiling Rita who is the most friendly restaurant person we have met in Portugal and Spain in last two weeks. The restaurant is in a PERFECT location and the coffee was perfect. Once we finished our daily rituals we ventured into the cold Atlantic for our first dip in Portugal. It was coldddddd....rrrr but worth the dip. Once we settled in we had lunch at the restaurant next to the cafe which is run by same team and Rita was as before friendly and smiling and jovial. We settled in to try a Prawn Curry strongly recommended by Rita who later we got to know is the the owner of the place. I was a bit skeptical about trying Prawn Curry in Portugal small beach town... but thank god we tried. It was yummy and a very beautifully created Mozambique influenced Indian Prawn Curry. It just made our entire day perfect. The pricing also is right. We paid only 11 Euro for the prawn curry + rice. We loved the curry so much we ordered another portion of the rice just to finish the curry. Another +5 stars goes for the quantity of prawns in the serve was impressive. Best wishes for Rita and her team as they just opened the restaurant in July this...

You can park your car near the beach(es) and go by foot to Porto Covo. You cannot follow the beach the whole time, the rocks don’t allow you to do so… We loved this beach, although we didn’t...

The biggest beach of Porto Covo, plenty of grockles. There is a very good café on the beach.

The beach is well maintained and clean.

If you are looking for something a little more than the beach café has then there are plenty of options in Porto Covo, Marques, café central or my favourite Miramar which is overlooking the...
