The Algarve in southern Portugal is a ragged coastline full of many rocky shapes but this is one spot where you can see many different types.
An iconic and absolutely gorgeous beach in the Algarve of Portugal. 
The crystal clear blue waters makes it an ideal snorkeling spot. 
There are breathtaking views over the beach (clearly), and beautiful nature trails to explore the surrounding area and cliffs. 
Highly recommended beach spot.
