About the Beach
What is Praia do Queimado 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 Sines.
Praia do Queimado Beach, according to the local legend, acquired its name for having been the place where, during the Portuguese Civil War at the first half of the nineteenth-century, a saint figure was brought here from Ilha do Pessegueiro1 and set on fire and it didn't burned.
It is also known as Praia do Barranco do Queimado Beach.
The sand of small dimensions is intersected at the middle by a stream that empties in here and splits Sines and Odemira counties.
Far away, at northwest, it's still possible to sight the Ilha do Pessegueiro.
