Located in the parish of Vau, in Óbidos, this beach is part of the Atlantic side of the Silver Coast. It is nestled between sandy cliffs and extends over a wide sandy area that stretches towards the north.
Its geographical setting creates a discreet haven, away from the denser urban centers, offering an environment of relative tranquility even during times of greater attendance.
The vast sandy expanse contrasts with the ochre and charcoal-colored cliffs, where low-lying shrubs survive the sea breezes. The measured rhythm of the waves permanently shapes the coastline, drawing ripples on the wet sand.
On the horizon, the deep blue of the sea merges with the sky, creating different nuances throughout the day, from turquoise blue near the sand to dark blue in the deeper areas.
From the top of the rocky formations, you get a wide view over the sandy beach and the Atlantic, ideal for capturing the color transitions and textures of the cliffs. This informal viewpoint highlights the landscape dimension of the place.
For photography lovers, the combination of the constantly moving sea and the cliffs sculpted by erosion offers natural framing that varies according to the sun's position and the state of the sea.
