At this beach (Praia) Praia do Carvalho Lagoa, an angular cut in the coastline shelters a small, welcoming bay lined by deeply-eroded ochre rock walls. A huge, scenic rocky ledge marks the central line of the beach, dividing the horizon. The cliffs remain high along the entire length of the beach. Access to the sands is through a hand-dug tunnel the rocky wall, where you can see marine fossils.
