About the Beach
What is Praia do Beliche 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 Vila do Bispo.
Praia do Beliche Beach or Praia do Belixe Beach, has a long sand. It lies in the middle of the Reserva Biogenética de Sagres1, the only place in the world where the nesting of Cegonha-Branca2 occurs on sea cliffs.
The cove where the beach lies, provides some shelter from the wind.
The sea waters are rough and sought by surf enthusiasts.
During heavy rainfall a tiny stream empties at the western area.
The beach can be accessed by Estrada Nacional 268, about 3 Km away from the Cabo de São Vicente4 and 1,9 Km from the ruins of the Fortaleza do Beliche5, to east direction.
