Aljezur can be reached via the N 120. A small road south of the village leads to the beach. The Praia da Arrifana is signposted. You have to park above the cliff, from there you walk down a steep street (only vehicles with a special permit are allowed to park in this street, other vehicles are rigorously provided with wheel claws by the police).
