Praia do Barril

Praia do Barril is a charming beach located in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve in Portugal. The place combines a fascinating history with natural beauty.

It used to be a fishing village specializing in tuna fishing. Today, you can admire the famous 'graveyard of anchors' - a remnant of the old fishing fleet that creates an amazing landscape in the dunes.

The long, wide beach with warm, calm waters is ideal for families. Restored fishing buildings have been converted into bars, restaurants and a small museum where you can learn about the history of the place.
