What a spectacular location! This hidden gem can only be reached by boat 🚤, adding to the sense of adventure and exclusivity. The crystal-clear waters 🌊💖 are perfect for diving and exploring the underwater world. As a lover of the ocean, I can't get enough of the refreshing cold water 💦 that surrounds me. Overall, this is an incredible spot that is well worth the effort to get there. The pristine beauty and tranquility of this beach make it a must-visit destination for any nature lover.

The beach was nothing short of ordinary and the bbq was subpar at best. The boat ride from Algarexperience to this desolate location was a complete waste of time and money.

What a stunning stretch of shoreline! Unfortunately, it seems like you'll need to have a helicopter on standby to reach this secluded gem. But hey, if you're in search of a private paradise, it's worth the extra effort to pack your own sunscreen and snacks. Just don't expect any beachside bars or restrooms - this is nature at its purest.

This beach is a hidden gem, surrounded by magnificent rock formations. Its secluded location offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The beach boasts several charming coves, each with its own unique character and only accessible by boat or via steep paths. The picturesque setting is a true feast for the eyes, and the perfect spot for a relaxing day in the sun.
