This photo was taken in Buizinhos Beach, Porto Covo, Sines, Portugal. This beach is a little it hidden and it´s surrounded by rocks formations. Besides it has many whelks, which is why its name is Buizinhos Beach. The beach is small which means that it´s almost entirely submerged at high tide. The access by foot is only possible via stairs on the west side.
