About the Beach
What is Praia da Poça do Buraco Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Odemira.
Praia da Poça do Buraco Beach, also known as Praia da Draga Beach, has a ground comprised exclusively by rocks and rolled pebbles.
During low tide, a vast area of rocks used by local anglers gets exposed.
At north, the beach is bounded by a cliff sledge named Ponta da Ilha.
A wide dune system exists on the cliff top, crossed by a dirt road along the coast.
This rocky cove is inappropriate for bathing.
