Praia Grande (Ferragudo)

Praia Grande (Ferragudo)

Praia Grande (English: Large Beach) is on the east bank of the wide estuary of the Rio Arade, south of Ferragudo, in the municipality/concelho of Lagoa (Algarve), in Portugal.

Map location: coord|37|07|12|N|8|31|20|W

This beach is just inside the mole which shields the river entrance and the port area of Portimão, and runs north to the Forte de São João do Arade.

Like other beaches in the western Algarve, it is bordered by cliffs from the Miocene epoch, very rich in marine fossils.
