Private vacation home

Salema is a lovely, small, isolated beach and fishing town in the Algarve. It's a great, quiet town for escaping the crowds. Salema's beach is one of the most pleasant and authentic segments of coast in Portugal. The stretch immediately in front of town has beach umbrellas and services in the European style, the sandy beachline continues for more than a kilometer to the east. Fishing boats are drawn up on the beach to the side of the town, and several boats and moored fishing buoys are scattered within a few hundred feet of the shoreline, but they add to the ambiance, not detract.
Hiking opportunities are also in abundance; a series of cliff-top trails wind along the coast line, and small roads lead to smaller hideaways scattered in the hills and along the beaches. Hiking from Lagos is also an option for the determined backpacker, using a combination of beach trails and roads Biking opportunities along the same roads also abound.
