Message from Mathias Fernandes

Praia da Barriga is a breathtakingly beautiful beach located in the Western Algarve region of Portugal. The beach is surrounded by towering cliffs and dramatic rock formations, creating a stunning backdrop for any adventure photographer.

The soft golden sand provides the perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxation. Praia da Barriga is also known for its rugged coastline, with rocky outcrops and sea caves waiting to be explored by adventurers.

The beach is situated in a secluded area, and the relatively calm waters make it ideal for families with young children. The natural beauty of the beach and the surrounding landscape provide numerous photo opportunities with the changing light throughout the day casting a magical spell over the scenery.

If you're looking for a quiet and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, Praia da Barriga is an excellent choice. Just remember to bring your camera, sunscreen, and plenty of water, and get ready to capture some unforgettable memories.

Photo Tip: This is the beach where I saw some of the most beautiful sunsets! Make sure to check the weather forecast as the weather on the west coast could be a bit different from the south coast so you can make sure that you have perfect conditions for great photos.

Field Tip: The road to access this Beach is a bit bumpy, it's a dirt road but if you drive carefully it's totally doable. If you are driving a car that is very low please consider this.
