Praia da Lota, Beach in Vila Nova de Cacela, Portugal
The Praia da Lota stretches along the eastern Algarve coast with golden sand and shallow waters that extend for several hundred meters.
The beach area developed from a traditional fishing settlement where local fishermen would auction their daily catch directly to residents.
Local restaurants around Praia da Lota maintain Portuguese culinary traditions by serving grilled fresh fish caught by regional fishing boats.
The 200-meter wooden boardwalk provides access to the beach area and includes facilities such as showers, restrooms, and rental services for parasols.
The eastern section of the beach features protected dunes with specific flora, while storage huts remain as testament to the fishing heritage.
