Portugal Praia da Marinha, Algarve
One of the best-known beaches on the Algarve and a very beautiful place to visit at sunrise. Very crowded during the summer months.
Photography Tips
The whole Algarve region gets crowded in summer. If you want to shoot without getting tourists in your frame it is best to opt for winter. Before shooting you might want to check the tides. According to the tides, different compositions will be possible.
For shooting this seascape an ND grad filter is a good choice, perhaps also some regular ND filters to smooth the sea movement.

There is a car park at the end of the road towards the beach. From here you will have to walk about 10 minutes or so to get to the best photo spots.

To get to this point you will actually have to climb over a fence. Be very careful with your gear and yourself as you are standing right on the cliff side.
