Praia das Furnas

On the left bank of the Rio Mira, Praia das Furnas is a long stretch of fine sand backed by small rocky cliffs. The sandbars in the area make for some relaxing frolicking in the waves – a good option for families. You can drive here, and you can also take the Maresia Milfontes ferry from Vila Nova de Milfontes.
