Carcavelos Beach

The Carcavelos Beach is a wide beach, going from the Carcavelos entrance up to the São Julião da Barra fortress, integrating two small dimensions sandy areas: the Moinho Beach (next to the fortress) and another one, in front of the famous “Bar dos Gémeos”.
Despite the fact that this is the most extensive sandy area of all Estoril Coast, it is quite common to get crowded in summer time, even during weekdays.
This beach has several facilities and is mainly frequented by locals, families, youngsters and surf and body board practitioners. The Beach is also stage for several sport events, such as Beach rugby and Beach volley. On the Parking lot there are also skate and basketball courts available.

Playa de Carcavelos

La playa de Carcavelos se extiende desde la entrada de Carcavelos hasta el Fuerte de S. Julião da Barra, integrando dos arenales de pequeñas dimensiones: la playa del «Moinho», al lado del «Forte», y otra, enfrente al Bar de los «Gémeos».A pesar de ser el más extenso arenal de toda la Costa de Estoril, es común que la playa se llene los días de verano, incluso durante la semana.
Para servir todos esos veraneantes, además de los bares y restaurantes que permanecen abiertos toda la noche, hay también una escuela de deportes naúticos, como el surf, windsurf y bodyboard. La playa tiene aún recintos de fútbol de playa y beach voley. Los campeonatos de fútbol playa se han realizado allí, bien como otros acontecimientos deportivos, como beach rugby y beach voley.
En el aparcamiento hay todavía un conjunto de rampas de skate y campos de baloncesto.

Ola Goncalo,

The golden, evening colours, using your special filter, make this a most eye-catching shot.
It is very well composed, the sun and its reflected light following the thirds line of the frame. Nice contrasting textures between the rocks and the wet sand.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Goncalo,
this is a splendid picture with very rich warm colours and palpable textures. The composition of the green glistening rocks and the wet sand among them is incredibly sharp and gives depth. The golden path imprinted by the brilliant sun is like warm honey dripping and spreading in lovely patterns. Beautiful sight!
All the best,

Allô Goncalo!
Bien que j'aime les couleurs naturelle, ton filtre tabac donne de merveilleuses couleurs dorées. Une scène bien composée où semble régner la tranquillité. Beau soleil étoilé, belle avant-plan de roches recouvertes de mousse et superbes reflets.
Toutes mes amitiés et bonne soirée,
Emilius

Hi Goncalo,
Well managed, I like the reflection on the sand and these warl and lovely colors, tfs.

ikeharel (112393) 2012-01-27 2:42

This is a perfect golden photo, Goncalo.
The attempt to show a sunset prior to minute it is low enough - must need a filter, and the tobacco filter of yours made that posiible.
Bom dia
Ike

jlbrthnn (76043) 2012-01-27 4:00

pierrefonds (113492) 2012-01-27 4:44

Hi Goncalo,

The reflections on the water and on the beach are assets to the composition. The distance between the beach and the horizon is giving depth to the scenery. using a gradual tobacco filter has a special effect on the colors. Have a nice day.
