Praia Manuel Lourenço, Sand beach in Guia, Portugal
Praia Manuel Lourenço presents a shell-shaped sandy shoreline enclosed by rocky cliffs, with natural swimming pools formed among the stone formations.
The beach has maintained its natural characteristics through centuries, with geological formations dating back to the ancient coastal development of the Algarve region.
Local residents and visitors gather at this beach to experience traditional Portuguese coastal activities, including collecting shellfish during low tide periods.
The beach provides parking facilities at both ends, with lifeguard services operating from May through October and accessibility features for persons with reduced mobility.
Two natural pools formed within the rock formations create protected swimming areas separate from the open ocean waters.
