About the Beach
What is Praia de Carcavelos 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 Cascais.
Praia de Carcavelos Beach has a very extensive sand of about 1,3 Km.
There aren't any immersed rocks on this beach, something that's very rare along Linha de Cascais1.
Bounding the bathing area at west there's a rocky formation known as the Ponta da Rana. In the center flows a small stream. This is one of those overcrowded beaches sought by many surf fans.
At east may be sighted the Forte de São Julião da Barra2.
