Out & About
Beaches
3 Bicas is located in the middle of Alentejo coast, known for its deserted beaches, which are more or less surrounded on all sides by natural reserves. Our favourite beaches are Praia do Pego (13km), Aberta Nova and Carvalhal.
Comporta
3 Bicas is inserted into what is known as Herdade da Comporta. Herdade da Comporta encompases 12500 hectares including the little villages of Comporta, Torre, Brejos, Carvalhal, Muda and
Bicas, so there is plenty to explore. Check out the New York Times article on Comporta.
