Fonte da Telha Beach, Atlantic beach in Costa da Caparica, Portugal
The five-kilometer stretch of golden sand extends between sandstone cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean, with pine forests bordering the coastline.
The area surrounding Fonte da Telha underwent significant geological changes during the 1755 earthquake, which created the current distinctive cliff formation.
Local fishermen maintain traditional xalavar fishing techniques specific to this region, contributing to the fresh seafood served at beachfront restaurants.
Visitors can access the beach via the Transpraia train service, which operates along Costa da Caparica and terminates at Fonte da Telha.
The beach features designated naturist sections on both northern and southern ends, with Praia da Adiça receiving official naturist status in 2015.
