Het strand bezoeken
Adegas is a remote Atlantic beach below cliffs near Aljezur in the Faro district. Access is on foot by an uneven cliff path from the informal parking area above, so wear closed footwear with grip and allow time for the descent and climb back. There is no direct public transport to the beach, and most visitors arrive by private car. Parking is informal above the cliffs, followed by a walk on established paths. Stay on marked routes, leave no trace and avoid cliff edges and loose ground. The surface is sand with rocky areas, and rocks can be slippery near the water. Atlantic water is often cool with variable waves and currents, so check sea state before swimming and stay in shallow water when conditions look rough. No lifeguard service is expected. There are no toilets, showers, shops or cafes at the beach. Carry enough water and food, plus sun protection, a parasol or light shelter, warm layers for wind and a bag for all rubbish. Little natural shade means high sun exposure through the middle of the day. Morning and early afternoon are often more comfortable for light and wind. The beach is generally quiet with low numbers, and a half-day visit is typical because of the lack of facilities and shade. There is no admission fee expected and access has no fixed hours. Mobile reception and help may be limited in this remote setting, so tell someone your plans and watch tides, waves and changing weather. Plan for full self-reliance throughout your stay.

Naturistenregels
Naturist use at Adegas is reported rather than formally confirmed, so keep behaviour discreet and respectful. Set up in the central area away from the main access paths where textile use is more common. Give other beach users clear space and avoid staring, comments or unwanted attention. Keep swimwear available for walking past families or textile groups. Photography of others is not appropriate. Take all rubbish away and avoid loud music or behaviour that changes the quiet character of the beach. Speak quietly and keep music low to protect the calm setting. Choose a spot with generous spacing when the beach is quiet.
