Hey Coastal Hikers!

To do the full trail or not to do the full trail along the Wild Atlantic coastline on the Fisherman’s Trail? But first…

The kids and I just returned from a road trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Although we couldn't hike in April due to a blizzard, these rugged mountains are definitely a must-see on your hiking bucket list!

April is the perfect time to hike the Fisherman’s Trail

With that in mind, I wanted to share some helpful transportation options for those of you who may want to explore specific segments of the Fisherman’s Trail instead of tackling the entire route.

Here are some convenient options to consider:

  • Public Transportation:

    • Rede Expressos: Offers bus services along the coast including Lisbon, Faro and Lagos. Check their schedules here.
