Carvoeiro Rentals by Owners.

Carvoeiro , or more commonly Praia de Carvoeiro (although this is no longer its formal name), is a Portuguese civil parish/freguesia in the municipality/concelho of Lagoa (Algarve ), about 5 km south of the city itself (on the Atlantic Ocean).

To the west of the town is the site of an old ruined fort, ordered built in 1670 as part of the coastal defenses of the Algarve . Only a gate survives. At the same site is the Shrine of Nossa Senhora da Encarnação, a chapel overlooking the sea, whose construction is said to have antedated the fort.

"Algar Seco", a few hundred meters along the coast east of the main square and beach, is a popular nature site where ocean wave erosion has carved out grottos, islets and ¿water chimneys¿.
