Hi All,
I'm new here and planning to walk some of the Fisherman's Trail/Rota Vicentina in the next week or two. I was hoping you might be able to help me with some questions I had, for which I very grateful! I'm walking from Porto Côvo to Odeceixe solo over the space of 4 days.

- I understand there is a lot of loose sand to wade through on the trip, so perhaps walking poles might be a good idea, however I'm wondering are hiking boots required or would trainers/runners/sneakers suffice?
- Is it possible and safe to stop at any of the beaches along the way and have a quick swim? Safe in terms of leaving my belongings on the beach and going into the water (I'll be solo) so I won't have any one to watch my stuff. Also safe as in no strong currents or riptides along those beaches?
- I'm doing a semi-organised trip between Porto Côvo to Odeceixe, but I have an extra day after finishing up in Odeceixe before getting the bus back to Lisbon and flying home. Would you be able to recommend another walk I could take leaving from Odeceixe the following day?
