Cemitério das âncoras

Cemitério das âncoras is a remarkable monument to maritime history on Barril beach. More than 200 rusted anchors rest in the dunes as a symbolic cemetery commemorating the traditional tuna fishery that ended in 1964.

This unique landscape creates a fascinating contrast with the blue ocean, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a dream destination for photographers and history buffs.

Combine a visit with a swim at beautiful Barril Beach and discover the richness of the protected dune ecosystem of Ria Formosa Natural Park.
