The beach of Praia do Penedo is dominated by steep cliffs covered in vegetation and not a building to be seen.

From the beach looking north west is the stacked rock island of Pedra da Agulha.

You must turn west of the EN128[4] in to a lane with a handwritten signpost of which only the first short length is tarmac.

To get to this beach you must drive, ideally in a 4X4, for about 5 km on a rutted track which is in bad shape in places.

To get to Praia do Penedo head north from here,[5] either via the beach at low tide or there are trails over the cliffs.
