Praia do Tonel — Attraction in Odemira

Just to clarify on the many comments on how bad the road or how dangerous and difficult the access is. We went there today with a rather low chassis car. No issues if you drive carefully. When going down, it may look a bit scary but it's rather easy. We did it with our 3 and 5 year old kids and no issues, even in flip-flops. For us, the most dangerous are the ropes. We didn't use them nor needed them going down / up. Can't understand how some groups of 5 + ppl were going down hanging on that same rope at the same time. These are old fishing ropes found on the beach and look rather unsafe.

Best advise I can give: make sure to have both hands available.

Enjoy, it's fun. And the beach is lovely though it was rather crowded...

Beautiful beach stretches about 100m only. Magical place. BUT what a shame how much rubbish we found in just 10 minutes. Mostly fishermen remnants, but all sorts of things. Why don’t people respect their environment? And even worse… always blame the tourists. We (tourists) always have a little bag and take some rubbish back to one of thousands rubbish bins further up. I don’t even start about the toilet paper everywhere. I’ve never heard anyone say “oh sure I always toss my toilet paper once I finished my business in nature” … I just wonder where all that paper comes from 🤔 Nature copes pretty good with our natural excrements but not with paper! Take...

One of our favourite beaches in Portugal, absolutely stunning and relatively secluded. Some people there but not busy or crowded at all.

After an off-road drive for some time, we reached the cliffs with an amazing view on the sea and the beach. To get to the actual beach you’ll have to climb down the relatively steep cliffs - there are a couple of ropes but make sure to not take too much stuff and wear solid shoes. There were dogs and children on the beach too though so if they can make it ... 😇

Totally worth the climb though (up is much easier by the way)!!! Incredibly beautiful and small beach with high waves. Great to just chill or...
