Portugal Praia do Chiringuito
Small coves and rock formations on the east side of Praia da Galé in Albufeira.
It works better with rising tide matching the end of the day, as you get tide pools and small coves and rock formations exposed being washed with the surf.
It also works good for milky way shooting between June and July.

Photography Tips
Be prepared to get wet and do some rock climbing to get to the most interesting spots.
Be careful with sea spray.
Best sunsets are from end of August until April. It needs north or south east winds to get some interesting clouds and you need to match the rising tide with the golden hour and sunset.
