Praia do Vale Espinhaço, Sand beach in Lagoa e Carvoeiro, Portugal.
The beach stretches for 120 meters along limestone cliffs, featuring clear waters and golden sand at the bottom of a natural recess.
The Alfanzina Lighthouse, constructed near the beach in 1920, remains an essential maritime guide for vessels navigating the Algarve coast.
The beach forms part of the Sete Vales Suspensos trail system, where locals and visitors connect with the natural coastal heritage.
Access to the beach requires careful navigation as there are no direct pathways from the cliffs, making it primarily a viewpoint destination.
A substantial geological sinkhole between the shore and lighthouse creates distinct formations in the limestone landscape visible from above.
