Portugal Praia da Ursa

Ursa Beach, located near Cabo da Roca in Portugal, is a stunning and remote stretch of coastline known for its dramatic cliffs and rugged beauty. The beach is famous for its unique rock formations, including the towering rocks that rise from the sea, giving the area an almost mystical atmosphere. It's a popular spot for adventurous hikers and nature lovers, though its steep and rocky path makes it less accessible than other beaches. The untouched natural beauty and secluded feel make it a hidden gem along the Portuguese coast.

Photography Tips

To photograph Ursa Beach, focus on capturing its dramatic cliffs and unique rock formations. A wide-angle lens works best to showcase the vast landscape. Shoot during the golden hour—either early morning or late afternoon—when the light casts a warm glow over the rocks and water. Experiment with long exposure to create a smooth, ethereal effect on the waves. To add depth, include elements like the coastline or surrounding cliffs in the foreground. Don’t forget to capture the sense of scale with people or objects against the towering rocks.

Travel Information

Take the first parking spot near to the road because the way to the second one is quite hard for every car. Take the left way down to the beach and don´t forget to take something to drink and to eat with you. The Way down will take round about 40 minutes.
