Salto: Official Naturist Beach


The official naturist beach Praia do Salto is located near “Porto Covo”, between Sines and Milfontes. It is a sheltered and quiet beach with lovely soft sand. The only downside is the climb down to the beach, this is not an easy climb but it is worth the effort. All in all a really good naturist beach.

Getting there
Driving by car – then you might have GPS, here are the coordinates for the beach.


GPS: N:37° 53’ 38.00″ – W:8° 47’ 51.83″

Turn right to Porto Covo and when you get to the end of the village, turn right on the road that leads to the small beaches. One of the beaches is Salto.
