Praia da Carreagem, Atlantic beach in Aljezur, Portugal
Praia da Carreagem extends along the western coast of Algarve, featuring high cliffs and geological formations shaped by ocean waves and wind erosion.
The beach area contains archaeological evidence of Roman and Moorish settlements, reflecting centuries of maritime activities along the Portuguese coast.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Praia da Carreagem, using ancient techniques passed down through generations in the Aljezur region.
Visitors need to check tide schedules before arrival, as the beach becomes narrow during high tide and reveals its rock formations during low tide.
Natural pools form among black schist rocks at the northern end of the beach during low tide, creating habitats for diverse marine species.
