Praia do Camilo, Sand beach in São Gonçalo de Lagos, Portugal.
The beach features two connected sandy coves flanked by towering limestone cliffs and natural rock formations extending into the clear Atlantic waters.
The natural erosion of the limestone cliffs over thousands of years has shaped the distinctive rock formations and arches that characterize this section of coastline.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional presence at the beach, bringing fresh catches to the restaurant positioned at the cliff top.
Visitors need to descend 225 wooden steps to reach the sand, and the limited parking spaces fill quickly during summer months between 10 AM and 4 PM.
The beach connects to a neighboring cove through a natural stone tunnel that becomes accessible during low tide, creating an extended exploration area.
