Praia da Tocha, Atlantic beach in Tocha, Portugal
The expansive shoreline of Praia da Tocha extends along the Portuguese coast with fine golden sand and natural dune formations.
The beach area developed from a fishing settlement, where wooden structures on stilts served as storage for fishing equipment and boats.
Traditional palheiros, wooden buildings constructed on stilts, represent the architectural heritage of Portuguese coastal communities at Praia da Tocha.
The beach provides essential facilities including parking areas, wooden walkways for access, rental services, restaurants, and changing rooms.
A small wooden library structure stands directly on the sand, offering beach visitors a selection of books to read near the ocean.
