Praia da Almagreira

Praia da Almagreira extends along the Portuguese coast with extensive sandy areas and tall clay cliffs displaying red mineral deposits.

The beach holds geological significance through its red clay deposits, which local residents historically used for domestic purposes and construction materials.

During traditional carnival celebrations, young men would collect red clay from the beach cliffs to write verses on walls dedicated to single women.

The beach offers free parking spaces and maintains natural conditions without infrastructure, requiring visitors to bring their own supplies and equipment.

At low tide, visitors can collect octopus, shellfish, and small fish among the numerous rock formations called Pedras Muitas and Pedra Ruiva.
