Praia do Beliche

Sheltered surf cove · Sagres (Algarve)

The Algarve’s southwestern corner keeps one sheltered surprise: Beliche folds a golden sand into a cliff bowl below the Sagres fortress road, catching calm water on north-wind days when every open beach is white with spray — and a hollow left-hand wave when the swell turns on.
