The path down may not be the easiest, but trust me, the reward at the end is well worth the effort. It's like finding a hidden treasure that only the lucky ones get to discover. So, if you're up for a little adventure, don't hesitate to make your way down to this beautiful beach. You won't regret it!

This is an amazing spot to visit! Although it requires a bit of a climb over the rocks, the beach is definitely worth the effort.

This hidden gem of a beach is simply fantastic, tucked away in a secluded spot and encircled by towering cliffs. To reach this idyllic spot, you'll need to make your way down a marked path from the parking area. The descent can be challenging in places, with steep inclines and some rocky terrain to navigate, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

This beach is truly stunning, nestled among the cliffs of Portugal's Atlantic coast. Accessible only by a brief climb down the cliffs, the beach boasts fine sand and gentle waves, making it a popular spot for surfers. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever visited, rivaling even those in Brazil. Additionally, there is ample parking available on site, including the option to park overnight.

I've been to one of the most stunning beaches ever! It's a bit off the beaten path, accessible via some gravel roads that ultimately lead to paradise. When we visited, there wasn't a soul in sight.
