Falésia Beach

It has a cliff that begins in the Barranco das Belharucas Beach and extends to Vilamoura.

It is flanked by a line of high cliffs in deep tones ranging from reds to whitish, in contrasting colours with the green of the pine groves above.

At the western end, the cliff is high but soft, composed of sand and clay, so the rain wears away grooves and gullies.

To the east, the cliff is gradually losing height, while remaining deeply eroded.

These species intermingle with the more monotonously-coloured vegetation typically found on cliffs, which here mostly consist of Mediterranean saltbush.
