Praia do Tonel, Sand beach in Sagres, Portugal.
The 400-meter stretch of golden sand meets the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by red sandstone cliffs and facing strong western waves.
The beach sits near the Fortaleza de Sagres, a 15th-century fortress that marked Portugal's maritime exploration during the Age of Discovery.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices along the coastline, while surf culture has established deep roots in this Atlantic shore.
The beach offers summer lifeguard services, parking facilities, and a beach bar serving food and drinks from June through October.
During low tide, a smaller hidden beach emerges to the right of the main beach, accessible through a rocky point formation.
