This is a very nice day hike that takes about 4 to 5 hours to complete. This is a fairly easy to moderate 15.5 km\/10.5 mi hike offering spectacular scenery; dramatic cliffs, unspoiled beaches, and breathtaking lookout points. Walking in the sand for about 6 kilometers is a bit challenging, but walking next to the ocean is very uplifting. Highlights of the day is Praia de Monte Clerigo, this beach is a nice stop for lunch at about halfway and Ponta da Atalaia, a spectacular viewpoint. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana.jpg\" alt=\"sand dune with wooden fishermens trail marker in the sand\" class=\"wp-image-36179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"sand dune with wooden fishermens trail marker in the sand\" class=\"wp-image-36179 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" src=\"https:\/\/stingynomads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/fishermens-trail-hiking-in-sand-aljezur-to-arrifana.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Walking next to the ocean from Aljezur to Arrifana.
