The article describes a family's delightful experience at Praia de Monte Clerigo, deemed one of the world's best beaches for its stunning natural beauty and serenity. Set along Portugal's south-west coastline, the beach is characterized by its golden sand, gentle waves, and striking cliffs. The family enjoys the peacefulness of the area, which is relatively uncrowded compared to the busy Algarve. They choose to stay at a family-run B&B, allowing their children to explore freely amidst local landscapes while they indulge in the region's food and wine offerings.
This could indeed be the world's best beach. It's a good question, given the beauty of our surroundings, but we soon realise that having the place to ourselves is a common occurrence.
The jagged coastline creates sheltered bays between long sweeping sands, and the Vicentine Coast natural park keeps development in check to offer an ideal spot for families.
Long-distance hiking routes, such as the Fisherman's Trail and the Historical Way, provide plenty of opportunities to explore on bike or foot and help sustain a thriving food and drink scene.
We opt for a family-run B&B called Muxima... our hope is that our boys, aged nine and 11, will roam free on the large plot while we relax.
