Too many photos of the sea? - The waves!
Yes. - La plage des Ponchettes
Listening to the waves is probably the most relaxing thing. - La baie des Anges
So this is where the Angels are hiding ;-) - La baie des Anges
Yes, definitely too many photos of the sea. - Black sand
This is the blackest beach I've seen. And I've seen quite a few, which claim to be black... Not to mention that compass does not work on this beach. I mean... it works ... but the direction it points to is very locally determined. - Caparica beach
Fishing boats on the Caparica beach. Still a very active fishing port. - Caparica sunset
Another sunset in Caparica. But the Sintra hills are already cloudy. - Ilha do Baleal

Every interesting rock has a name, I'm sure an interesting name was given to this one as well. This one is close to La Plage Saint Guirec. Update: it's called Napoleon's hat :-) - Côte de granit rose
Oratoire de Saint-Guirec dating from 11th-12th century. Apparently sticking needles into the saint's nose (and the needle remaining there during the high tide) would guarantee you getting married within a year. No wonder it's so eroded :-) - Côte de granit rose
A stunning bit of French coast indeed! - Phare de Ploumanac'h
Phare de Ploumanac'h on the Sentier des Douaniers. The weather wasn't the best... oh well. - Côte de granit rose
