Praia de Carvoeiro, Coastal beach in Carvoeiro, Portugal.
Between sandstone cliffs, this golden sand beach stretches along a natural bay, protected from ocean currents by rock formations at both ends.
The beach evolved from a small fishing settlement in the 1960s into a recognized European coastal destination, maintaining elements of its maritime heritage.
Local fishermen continue early morning traditions by launching their boats directly from the beach, selling fresh catches to nearby restaurants.
The beach provides essential facilities including lifeguards, sun loungers, restaurants, restrooms, and direct access from the town center via paved walkways.
Natural limestone formations surrounding the beach create multiple caves and grottoes, accessible through guided boat tours departing from the shore.
