Salema is a picturesque fishing village located in the Vila do Bispo municipality. Famous for its sheltered beach, traditional colorful boats, and dinosaur tracks on the cliffs, it preserves the authentic coastal charm of the Algarve.
Situated within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, the village keeps a strong connection to its maritime roots. Whitewashed cottages line the streets leading down to the shore, where local fishermen still bring in their daily catch directly onto the beach.
The calm-water beach is ideal for families, offering easy access, seaside dining, and pleasant coastal walks. On the eastern cliffs, fossilized dinosaur footprints can be explored, making Salema a unique destination combining nature, history, and relaxation.
