Praia dos Gémeos, Beach in Carcavelos e Parede, Portugal
The beach features a distinctive rock formation that divides the sandy area into two separate sections, creating contrasting swimming environments.
The nearby São Julião da Barra fortress, constructed in the 16th century, stands 250 meters east of the beach as a former coastal defense structure.
The name 'Praia dos Gémeos' originates from Portuguese, meaning 'Beach of the Twins' due to its natural division by large rocks.
The western section of the beach provides safer swimming conditions because underwater rocks are positioned farther from the shoreline.
The beach maintains two distinct personalities: a secluded eastern section and a more open western area connected to Carcavelos Beach.
