The beachside village of Carvoeiro located directly to the south of the administrative town of Lagoa in the Algarve used to be a traditional small fishing village but today it has expanded and is now a very popular holiday resort. The real town beach is the Praia do Carvoeiro which is a small sheltered sandy bay directly off the main square and with protecting cliffs protecting on either side. Above Carvoeiro are the remains of the walls of the Fort of Senhora da Conceicao dating from the 17th century and inside is the hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Encarnacao (Our Lady of the Incarnation). There are some restaurants, bars and cafes located around this square to refresh the visitor leaving the beach. There are three streets leading off from the square lined with further restaurants, bars and tourist shops. Carvoeiro will meet the needs of normal immediate shopping however, five minutes drive to the town of Lagoa offers several well stocked supermarkets.
Due to holiday and foreign residential properties Carvoeiro spreads considerably both east and west from the small centre. To the east are the lovely beaches of Praia de Vale de Centianes and the impressively attractive Praia da Marinha. One popular tourist attraction is to hire a local fisherman to make a trip along the nearby coastline and view the sea made caves in the sharp cliffs. There are three golf courses in the area, the 18-hole Gramacho Golf Course, the 18-hole Vale da Pinta and the 9-hole Vale de Milho. On the outskirts of Carvoeiro is a very active Tennis Club with 10 mixed surface courts. A couple of diving schools operate from the village offering the exploration of underwater ocean life.
