Praia Do Carvalho beach, located approximately 6 kilometers from Carvoeiro, Portugal, was previously accessible solely by boat due to its secluded location. However, this inaccessibility was resolved by excavating a tunnel within the surrounding cliff, facilitating better accessibility.
According to local legend, the beach is named after Captain Carvalho, its previous proprietor.
