Boca do Rio beach, Atlantic beach in Vila do Bispo, Portugal.
The beach stretches 150 meters along the coast, bordered by tall cliffs and featuring both sandy areas and rock formations at the water's edge.
Archaeological remains near the beach include Roman ruins and remnants of a nineteenth-century fish canning factory, indicating long-term human settlement in the area.
The beach name Boca do Rio translates to 'river mouth' due to the Ribeira de Budens river meeting the Atlantic Ocean at its eastern edge.
Visitors can park their vehicles in the designated area behind the beach, which lacks lifeguard services but offers clean waters suitable for swimming.
A French naval vessel from 1759 rests underwater near the beach, creating an exploration site for diving enthusiasts searching for historical artifacts.
