Praia Do Carvalho

Sand

Praia Do Carvalho beach, located approximately 6 kilometers from Carvoeiro, Portugal, was previously accessible solely by boat due to its secluded location. However, this inaccessibility was resolved by excavating a tunnel within the surrounding cliff, facilitating better accessibility. According to local legend, the beach is named after Captain Carvalho, its previous proprietor. Visitors to Praia Do Carvalho are advised to steer clear of cliff-side areas due to the possibility of landslides and loose rocks. For those anxious about parking, a nearby parking lot is available.
