Praia do Beliche, Beach on the western Algarve coast, Portugal
The beach sits within a protected bay flanked by 40-meter cliffs, featuring golden sand that forms two distinct coves.
In 1434, explorer Gil Eanes departed from this beach to navigate around Cape Bojador, marking a pivotal moment in navigation history.
The beach serves as a gathering point for international surfers who come together to ride the waves generated by Atlantic currents.
Access to the beach requires descending a stone staircase of approximately 100 steps, with lifeguards present during the summer season.
The western section welcomes naturists, while the eastern part provides one of the finest sunset views in Europe.
