The breathtaking cliffs make for a stunning backdrop. The quaint village is full of shops and cafes, though the only way to get close to the cliffs is to take a boat ride.

The view from Masca is breathtaking, but it's not something you'd want to experience more than once. The road to get there is a winding, treacherous journey through the mountains. If you're looking to reach the beach, you'll have to endure a grueling 8 km hike down from the village.

This remote corner of the bay has a small black sand beach which is perfect for sunbathing at low tide. At high tide, however, the beach is replaced by rocky outcrops. On the plus side, there is excellent parking available and strong swimmers can take advantage of the good waves near low tide when the beach is visible on the west side of the bay.

This black sand beach was quite fascinating. I visited in the off-season of December and encountered some very intense waves, making it unsafe to swim due to the abundance of rocks just beneath the surface.

This place is top notch! This beach is outstanding!

This beach is truly stunning - the scenery is simply breathtaking!
