Praia de Portonovo

Praia de Portonovo is a beach in Faro, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the north, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The bottom drops away quickly: about 11.2 m of water only 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 12.4 m at 400 m. There are some trees around the beach (trees around 15 m tall), enough for patches of shade. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.3 m. It is clothing-optional.
