Praia do Cabo do Mundo

Praia do Cabo do Mundo is a sandy beach with broad stretches of sand interrupted by dark rock formations along the shore. These stones create separate sections of beach and form an uneven coastline with varied sections to explore.

The beach formed through natural coastal erosion and ocean movement across thousands of years. The dark rocks once served as navigation markers for ships traveling along Portugal's Atlantic coast.

This place draws local visitors who gather here throughout the year, especially during warmer months, to enjoy time by the water. The rocky sections create natural spaces where people can explore and discover different areas of the beach.

The beach has wooden boardwalks, changing areas, and lifeguards on duty from June through September. Visitors can find nearby parking and reach the beach on foot from the surrounding neighborhood.

At low tide, natural pools form between the rocks where water stays calm and warm. These hidden areas offer special swimming and exploring opportunities for visitors.
