Praia do Tonel, Atlantic beach in Sagres, Portugal
Praia do Tonel extends for 400 meters along Portugal's southwestern coast, bordered by steep cliffs and featuring golden sand that meets strong ocean waves.
The beach lies near the Sagres Fortress, where Prince Henry the Navigator established his 15th-century navigation school that launched Portuguese maritime discoveries.
Local surf schools teach water sports techniques throughout the year, maintaining a strong connection between the beach and Portugal's modern surfing traditions.
The beach includes a car park, a beachfront café, and summer lifeguard service, with water temperatures ranging between 13 and 15 degrees Celsius year-round.
A distinctive rock formation known as Lion Rock emerges from the water, serving as a natural fishing platform regardless of tide conditions.
