The Beach
Golden sand beach, located next to the village of Sagres, in a wide bay to the east of Cabo de S. Vicente that protects it from the prevailing winds and swells.
The sand is extensive and nestled between abrupt limestone cliffs where you can see huge recesses and sapas (cavities excavated at the base of the cliff).
Along the tide line, limestone lapiás are common, with their curious shapes, colonized by showy plants such as the sea pampilho.
On this beach, there are traces of silos and medieval ovens, used until the 19th century. XVI.
It has road and pedestrian access from Sagres, next to the GNR post.
