Praia do Cavalo Beach

What is Praia do Cavalo Beach?

It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Sesimbra.

Praia do Cavalo Beach, also known as Praia dos Calhaus Beach, is located at the bottom of a steep cliff, north of the Cabo Espichel¹. Here, the sand is nonexistent.
It is a very dangerous beach for having landslides constantly. On the opposite side of the rocky cliff that north bounds it, there's the Monumento Natural da Pedra da Mua².
On top of the cliff, beside Estrada Nacional 379³, lies the Conjunto da Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Cabo⁴.
Access is exclusively achieved by sea.
