Altura has an extensive sandy beach, which is separated from the village by a wide expanse of sand dunes. A network of raised wooden footpaths crosses the dunes to give access to the beach and these should be used to protect the dune environment. There is an abundance of European beach grass, sea holly, fluffy cottonweed and eye-catching sea daffodils. Further inland, the vegetation is taller with bushes of bridal broom providing shade during the summer season. Looking eastwards one sees a vast area of pinewoods. Praia da Alagoa has restaurants and other facilities and is supervised during the bathing season.
