Praia das Pedras Muitas is located in Ferrel, in the municipality of Peniche, along the Atlantic coast of Portugal. It is nestled against rocky cliffs that extend from north to south, offering a striking natural setting.
In the surrounding area, the transition between sand and rock is notable, with access via dirt paths and informal viewpoints on the cliffs that allow for observation of the Atlantic Ocean stage in all its splendor.
The name Praia das Pedras Muitas derives from the profusion of rocky blocks and platforms that emerge at low tide, creating small coves and pools where water is retained. These structures result from coastal erosion and offer points of geological interest.
On the cliffs, the sedimentary layers exhibit reddish and ochre tones, creating a strong contrast with the blue of the sea. It is common to spot coastal birds flying over the sandy beach, and the breaking of the waves reveals the diversity of the seabed near the coastline.
The waves vary according to the tide and wind, providing conditions for those who appreciate the sea from different perspectives, from relaxed sunbathing on the smoother sand to contemplating the open sea from the cliffs.
The atmosphere remains calm, even on clear days, inviting strolls along the shore or moments of sunset observation. The interaction between stone, sand, and water creates a setting conducive to photography and social gatherings by the coast.
