Tonel Beach is situated on the Atlantic Ocean coastline, within the municipality of Odemira, belonging to the Lower Alentejo region. It is located in the Herdade do Samoqueiro area, near the locality of São Teotónio.
This location is part of the protected and vast Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, which lends its surroundings a preserved natural character.
This beach is characterized by a considerable-sized sandy area, nestled within a cove. It is important to note that, during high tide periods, a significant portion of this sandy area may become submerged by seawater.
Tonel Beach is also locally known by another name: Praia do Pendoradoiro.
Reaching the sandy area directly, at the base of the cliff, involves a descent. This access is considered to be of high difficulty, requiring care and attention from those who choose to take this path.
The waters bathing Tonel Beach are officially classified as bathing waters, indicating they are suitable for swimming.
The water quality at this location has received positive recognition in assessments carried out over several years.
The beach is set within a landscape dominated by cliffs and the characteristic vegetation of the Natural Park. The cove offers a typical natural scenery of the Vicentine Coast.
The fact that it is within a protected area contributes to maintaining the beauty and integrity of the surrounding environment.
