Praia do Castelejo is a hidden gem located in the Costa Vicentina Natural Park in the Western Algarve region of Portugal. As a travel and adventure photographer, you'll love the natural beauty of this wild and rugged beach.

The beach is situated in a secluded area, surrounded by towering cliffs and lush vegetation. The soft golden sand stretches for miles, providing plenty of space for sunbathing, beach games, and relaxation. The beach is also popular with surfers and bodyboarders, thanks to its consistent waves and strong currents.

Praia do Castelejo Castelejo is also an excellent spot for hiking, with several trails leading from the beach to the cliffs above. From the top of the cliffs, you'll have a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, including the vast Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline.

Surrounded by towering cliffs and set against the backdrop of the wild and rugged Costa Vicentina Natural Park, Castelejo Beach also presents great potential for photography. The changing light throughout the day casts a magical spell over the beach, and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape provides numerous opportunities for capturing stunning shots, so remember to bring your camera!
