Praia do Castelo, Sand beach in Costa da Caparica, Portugal.
Praia do Castelo stretches along the Atlantic coastline, featuring soft golden sand bordered by steep sandstone cliffs that extend toward the water's edge.
The beach area contains remnants of a 16th-century watchtower that served as a defense post against maritime invasions from North African pirates.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at Praia do Castelo, regularly launching their boats directly from the beach in early morning hours.
Visitors access the beach via wooden stairs behind the beach bar, with lifeguard services operating between May and October for swimming safety.
The beach formation includes multiple small protected bays created by the natural erosion of ochre-colored cliffs into distinct geological patterns.
