Vila Nova de Milfontes

Vila Nova de Milfontes is a Portuguese coastal town situated on the Alentejo Litoral coastline, at the mouth of the Mira River estuary. The location occupies a section entirely within the Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina Natural Park, defined by its strong currents and wild beaches. The small Forte de São Clemente stands at the entrance to the river, marking the town's historical defensive purpose. Today, Vila Nova de Milfontes functions as a major family tourism destination, known for its distinct river and ocean beaches and its popularity as a base for surf and nature recreation. The town retains a small fishing port and serves as a key access point for the trails of the protected coastal area.
