Dipping up and down to the sea on narrow cliff side paths, today’s walk is an invigorating one, with some of the best views on the whole of the Fisherman’s Trail. Pass by several beaches, a natural fishing harbour and the spectacular Ponta em Branco. From this viewpoint you look over Odeceixe beach with the mountain tops of Foia and Monchique as a backdrop, before following the river into Odeceixe.
