Praia dos Careanos, Beach in Portimão, Portugal
The Careanos Beach features a continuous line of ochre and red cliffs displaying marine fossils in their rock formations along the shoreline.
The beach was formed through centuries of geological processes that created its distinctive limestone cliffs containing preserved marine organisms from ancient times.
Local residents frequently gather at Careanos Beach during summer evenings to participate in traditional Portuguese beach activities and social gatherings.
Access to the beach requires descending a steep staircase, and visitors can find basic amenities including a wooden kiosk serving refreshments.
Natural caves and arches in the eastern section of the beach create enclosed spaces where visitors can observe the geological formations.
