Surf: Vila Nova de Milfontes is the star attraction of the Alentejo. An idyllic beach town with a wide range of waves including the bowly left reef of Cogumelo, which packs a punch and needs a bit of swell to turn on. Next to it is another slab style left reef that is hollow, shallow and inconsistent. Plank riders might also enjoy the long left that meanders up the rivermouth on decent swells and there are plenty more waves to be found by trekking across the fields.
