Day Out (Zavial Beach)
The beach is located on the Western Algarve in an area of outstanding
natural beauty, and as yet, unspoilt, by the ravages of mass tourism
and concrete highrise.
You will not find neat rows of sun loungers complete with parasols
(concession areas); banana
rides; tourist shops and ice cream sellers touting for business, only families enjoying beach life in a simple way.

Salema Beach
Located three hours south of Lisbon near Cape Sagres, Salema is a small fishing village known for its gentle Atlantic shore break on a wide beach between two steep cliffs. While much of Portugal’s scenic Algarve Coast has been engulfed by new high-rises and resorts, Salema remains admirably authentic, with one main street, white stucco houses, an outdoor market providing staples for picnics, and just a dozen places to eat and drink. The lack of luxuries and diversions translates into accommodation savings: “Quatros” (rooms with bathrooms in private homes) go for about $26, while self-catering apartments at Pension A Maré are under $130 nightly.

Monsul
La imagen de la playa de Monsul es seguramente la más emblemática del Parque. De arena oscura, llama la atención por su enorme duna viva, que según la dirección del viento cubre de arena una de sus paredes basálticas. Además veremos una enorme roca, como una lengua de lava, que invade parte de la playa y del agua. La playa está rodeada de erosionables paredes de lava, que caen sobre la playa en formas increíbles; éstas han formado oquedades donde caben varias personas y son un estupendo refugio del sol. Por su peculiaridad e irrepetible paisaje ha sido elegida para conocidas escenas cinemátográficas de "En busca del arca perdida", "Las aventuras del barón Münchhausen ", "Lawrence de Arabia" ó El hombre que perdió su sombra". Mónsul es perfectamente accesible en coche desde el camino de las playas que sale de San José, por lo que durante la Semana Santa y Agosto está muy "poblada", aunque no sufre la masificación de otras playas mediterráneas. Es un espacio virgen de enorme belleza para visitar y disfrutar en cualquier momento del año. También se puede hacer un excursión andando desde San José ó desde el Faro de Cabo de Gata, dos rutas a pie para disfrutar de la belleza del litoral y descubrir rincones que no son accesibles de otro modo.En medio de la playa se encuentra una enorme roca volcánica, denominada la peineta, y a su izquierda podemos ver la conocida duna de Mónsul.
