Welcome to Salema
The road that leads into Salema provides your first glimpse of the sparkling blue Atlantic and long stretch of beach that’s the heart of this fishing village. Visit from May through mid-October to soak up the sun. Relax on the beach, or wander the coastal paths that lead to small coves. When you’re hungry this small village’s handful of restaurants provide plenty of choice, along with sunset sea views.
A Relaxing Holiday
Or come to Salema in the low season when the beach is all yours and, except for the crashing waves, very quiet. Whenever you visit you’ll find a pretty village with cobbled streets, traditional white washed homes, colourful fishing boats, and no discos – the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.
Activities In and Around Salema
A short drive away is the historic town of Lagos, with its marina, shops, bars, and outdoor markets. In the other direction is the town of Sagres where you’ll find Cape Vincent, the southwesternmost point in Portugal. The famous west coast surf beaches are in this area, only 20 minutes by car from Salema.
Golfing
The Boa Vista or Palmores golf courses are also within 20 minutes of Salema, with the Parque de Floresta golf course only 5 minutes away.
