This beach is absolutely stunning, particularly during windy weather. The waves are truly impressive during high tide. 🙌😎
This petite beach nestled close to the Benagil caves is absolutely charming, but be prepared for a bit of a descent to reach it. It's important to note that there's no shade available, nor are there any huts to rent. If you plan on spending some time here, make sure to bring your own sun protection. The water near the shore can be a bit slimy due to algae growth, and there are quite a few rocks scattered along the water's edge. Despite these minor inconveniences, this beach is a delightful spot to unwind and soak up the sun on a warm summer day.
It's quite interesting how the presence of rocks around a beach can add to its charm. In my humble opinion, the coastline of Lagos is unparalleled in its beauty. I am already looking forward to my next visit where I plan to explore the area with kayaks.
