About the Fishermen’s Trail
The Fishermen’s Trail, part of the Rota Vicentina network, is one of Portugal’s most renowned long-distance coastal hiking routes. Following the Atlantic coastline from Praia de São Torpes near Sines to Lagos, the trail traces historic paths once used by local fishermen to access beaches and fishing grounds. Widely regarded as one of the world’s finest coastal walks, it features narrow single-track trails, long stretches of sand, and frequent elevation changes along dramatic sea cliffs. Hikers pass through traditional fishing villages, secluded beaches, and rugged headlands, with sweeping ocean views throughout. The route is rich in coastal wildlife and native flora, including migratory birds and cliff-dwelling species. Due to its sandy terrain and exposure, the trail can be physically demanding despite modest distances. Late spring is considered one of the best times to hike, when wildflowers are in bloom, and temperatures remain mild.
