Praia das Costas do Lajão is located in the municipality of Odemira, in the civil parish of São Teotónio. This coastal cove is part of the area known as Praia dos Alteirinhos.
Access to this sandy area is often gained by walking a short distance along the sands of the neighbouring Praia dos Alteirinhos, which is possible at low tide.
This spot is characterized by being a more tranquil and sheltered space compared to other beaches in the area. It has a calm atmosphere and, for this reason, is often sought after by those who prefer more isolated environments.
Its secluded nature and serene environment make it a preferred spot for naturism.
The beach features a cove with a small sandy strip. It is surrounded by golden-hued cliffs, which stand out in the landscape and contribute to the secluded feel of the place.
The rock formations bordering the beach create a distinct and visually appealing natural setting.
Under certain conditions, especially on calm, windless days, the sea in this cove can present particularly clear and calm waters, almost resembling a natural pool. This aspect contributes to the beach's serenity at specific times.
