Situated on the Atlantic coast of the municipality of Sesimbra, Praia do Penedo is located near the village of Meco, set within a predominantly natural environment. Its position offers unobstructed ocean views, with the geographical setting marked by the presence of cliffs that embrace the sandy shore, giving it an atmosphere of seclusion and wild beauty. The salty air and constant breeze are distinctive elements of this coastal landscape, characteristic of the Campimeco region.
Praia do Penedo is characterized by the prominent presence of rock formations that emerge from the sand and the waterline, lending their name to this coastal nook. These penedos (rock formations), sculpted by the action of the sea and wind over time, give a unique identity to the landscape. The golden sand stretches out in contrast with the clear waters of the Atlantic. The cliffs that delimit it, with their exposed geological layers, add an element of natural grandeur and are habitat for autochthonous flora that clings to the rocks, resisting the elements.
The atmosphere at Praia do Penedo is remarkably tranquil, appealing to those seeking an authentic connection with nature. Far from the hustle and bustle of more urbanized beaches, here the predominant sounds are the waves breaking on the shore and the calls of seabirds. Natural light, especially at the end of the day, casts long shadows over the rocks and the sand, creating scenes of great serenity. It is a place that invites contemplation and the enjoyment of a preserved coastal space, where the simplicity of nature is the main attraction.
