About the Beach
What is Praia da Ribeira 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 da Ribeira do Cavalo Beach, also known as Praia da Pedreira do Cavalo Beach, discloses an extensive sand located at the bottom of a mountain valley. It's inside a cove.
At the west end one finds a stream with the same name of the beach. To the east there's a smaller sandy area. Several islets stand out of the sea water.
The access follows a trail coming from an existing stone quarry on top of the cliff or down the stream bed when its dry.
