Montechoro, Areias de Sao Joao, Praia da Oura

As the resort has grown alot of the development has taken place to the east of the Old Town area and many of the now popular holiday accommodations are located in the above areas of the resort. Montechoro to the north, Areias de Sao Joao in the middle and finishing at the beach of Praia da Oura. All three areas are linked by the infamous "Strip". This long street runs north/south through the resort and contains everything you could possibly want during your stay. It is lined by many bars, restaurants, bureau de exchange points, supermarkets, souvenir shops, boutiques, ice cream parlours, information points, bike & car hire. You name it, you will find it somewhere on the Strip.

The Strip culminates at a steep hill that finishes at Praia da Oura or Golden Beach. As the name suggests this is a golden sandy cove, shelving gently into the cool Atlantic ocean. There are sun beds and parasols for hire here and the water sports school will keep the more active occupied.
