Praia da Marinha is one of the most iconic and picturesque beaches in the Algarve region of Portugal. Located between the towns of Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra, Praia da Marinha is known for its crystal clear waters, golden sand, and stunning cliff formations.

As you descend the steep staircase leading to the beach, you'll be greeted by a breathtaking view of the beach and the surrounding cliffs. The beach itself is relatively small, but it's surrounded by towering cliffs that provide plenty of shade and privacy.

Praia da Marinha is also known for its excellent snorkeling Kayakying and SUP. There are several rocky outcrops and small caves to discover, making it an ideal spot for adventurers and nature lovers.

The beach is well-equipped with, car-parking, a restaurant and snack bar for refreshments. However, be aware that the beach can get quite crowded during peak tourist season, so it's best to arrive early to secure a good spot.

Overall, Praia da Marinha is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the Algarve. With its stunning natural beauty and excellent snorkeling opportunities, it's a perfect spot for a day trip or an extended stay.
