This picturesque fishing village with very nice beaches surrounded by protecting cliffs, has a long history of settlement and has grown over the last decades into the main tourist area of the parish.
According to historical sources, Carvoeiro derives from “Caboiere,” an ancient name for a hamlet of fishermen from the Islamic-medieval period. For most of its history, Carvoeiro depended mostly on fishing as the mainstay of the local economy. However, from the 1960′s onward, gradually became a hotspot for tourism which is now the economic base of the area, with many new hotels, apartments, shops and new roads contributing to a significant improvement in the infrastructure.
