Low tide beach discovery and photo tour of Prainha beach. Rock tunnels, sea caves and amazing landscapes that are only accessible at low tide or from the sea.

Due to its not very obvious access, this place remains an undiscovered gem. Cliff-tops dotted with pine trees, ochre trails to the beach and amazing rock formations. We will see the only Portuguese palm species and one photogenic forest of native pine trees. We will descend a path to Antelope Canyon stile sandstone formations.
On the beach we will see algars (vertical cylindrical holes in the limestone caused by erosion) and a great variety of fossils found here like nowhere else in the Algarve. We'll cross a natural tunnel to the next beach (which has itself an 'island') and move to our 'hidden spot' where we'll shoot arches, low tide pools with anemones, and enter well lit caves one leading to another and then to another. You don't have to take pictures if you prefer to just enjoy the views.

The guide will be José Romão, a conservationist biologist author of the Nature Photography book 'Cape Roca'. He will provide information on the life forms and geological motifs that are encountered as the walk progresses, drawing attention to potentially photogenic motifs and giving photographic advice. Shoot by yourself or with the assistance of José Romão and ask the questions you want.
