Praia Verde Airstrip is a coastal airstrip in Castro Marim Municipality, Portugal, near the border with Spain.

The airstrip appears abandoned. Google Earth 2006 historical imagery shows a maintained, unpaved runway in use. 2014 imagery[2] shows the runway and ramp area overgrown with weeds and shrubs.

As of 2023, there are indications of use by a gyrocopter operator.[3]
