Praia de Odeceixe Mar, Atlantic coastal beach at Aljezur, Portugal.
The beach stretches for 330 meters in a horseshoe shape, where the Ribeira de Seixe river meets the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by steep cliffs.
The beach received recognition in 2012 when it was selected as one of Portugal's seven natural wonders in the cliff beaches category.
The northern section of the beach connects to Praia de Adegas, a designated area for naturist activities within the Costa Vicentina natural park.
Visitors can access the beach via a 3-kilometer road from Odeceixe village, with summer shuttle services and parking facilities near the shore.
The beach creates natural swimming pools during low tide while offering two distinct water experiences: ocean waves for surfing and calm river waters.
