Praia Pedra Branca, located in Ericeira within Portugal's World Surfing Reserve, combines golden sands with dramatic cliffs and rugged rock formations. This 200-meter beach sits at the southern end of Praia da Empa, adjacent to the powerful reef break Pedra Branca, renowned among advanced surfers for its barrel waves reminiscent of Hawaii's Pipeline. The beach offers a mix of relaxation and adrenaline, with its exposed reef becoming visible at mid-tide and creating a striking contrast against the Atlantic's azure waters. Visitors appreciate its unspoiled coastal charm, though amenities remain limited to preserve its natural appeal[1][5].
