Praia da Samoqueira, Sandy beach in Porto Covo, Portugal
The beach features a 400-meter stretch of golden sand bordered by limestone cliffs and natural rock formations along the Alentejo coast.
The beach developed alongside Porto Covo fishing village, which dates back to the 18th century when local fishermen established their community.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at Praia da Samoqueira, maintaining connections to Portugal's maritime heritage through small-scale fishing methods.
Visitors can access the beach through a maintained stairway from the parking area, with lifeguard services available during summer months from June to September.
During low tide, the beach reveals extensive tidal pools among the rocks where marine species create temporary ecosystems.
