Praia do Caniçal
Lourinhã, Portugal, Portugal
Praia do Caniçal is a long, wild Atlantic beach in the Lourinhã municipality, on Portugal’s west coast, known for its wide stretch of white sand nestled at the southern end of a small bay and framed by rocky outcrops.
The beach is backed by impressive dark cliffs rich in fossil layers, including Jurassic‑era dinosaur footprints, and offers a quiet, unspoiled feel that draws visitors who enjoy long walks and close contact with nature. Access is via a road from the nearby Praia da Areia Branca/Paimogo area, and the site is relatively rustic, with basic or limited facilities, making it more suited to those who prefer a natural, less developed coastal experience over a busy resort‑style shoreline.
