Azenhas do Mar Beach, Sand beach in Sintra, Portugal
The beach stretches along steep cliffs with white houses perched above, creating a natural cove bordered by rocky formations and the Atlantic Ocean.
The village received its name from the water mills powered by ocean waves that operated along the coastline during the nineteenth century.
Fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices from small boats, supplying fresh catches to the local restaurants situated above the beach.
The beach features a natural seawater pool that fills during high tide, providing a protected swimming area when ocean conditions are rough.
During low tide, visitors can explore the rock formations that reveal small caves and tide pools containing various marine organisms.
