Praia* , we’re not Spain. As a curiosity I believe there are no Portuguese words wit the letter K, W or Y.

This is a wonderfully creepy shot! Very well done.

I apologize for that, must have auto corrected just before posting and I can't change it anymore. Enjoy your upvote and have a great rest of your day :)

A - same here. B - sadly, no treasure found. C - I take that back, the experience of crawling and taking photos there is a treasure itself :)

True. But it just looks like the place in a movie or game you would expect to see littered with gold coins.

Sorry, can't correct the title anymore - I will be more careful in the future. Hopefully, the picture is rewarding enough for the time being.

Thank You, it was worth the scrapes and random splashes with the incoming tide to grab this shot. After man tries the light finally hit the right spot and here we are :).

In a weird way it reminds me of that Baywatch episode with the giant octopus in the cave.

Great shot! I thought this was called Cabo de Roca, or is that something else nearby?
speedcunt t1_j95uj8d wrote
Wrong: abdómen, cólon, éden, espécimen, glúten, hífen, hímen, pólen, sémen, plâncton, líquen...
speedcunt t1_j95utpp wrote
That's a different place all together, Praia da Rocha is in the Algarve (south coast), Cabo da Roca is in Sintra (west coast). They're ~300 km apart. Praia da Rocha is a beach with cliffs and caves, Cabo da Roca is a cape and a huge cliff straight into the sea.

How did you even come up with that
BlimundaSeteLuas t1_j95v4vx wrote
It's not true
mikeesfp OP t1_j95wk6u wrote
Care to explain, please?
mikeesfp OP t1_j95wqva wrote
Thank You, yes I can confirm this was taken in the Algarve coast!
BlimundaSeteLuas t1_j95wvli wrote
There are words in Portuguese that end with an "n" like the other person said. E.g., abdómen, íman.

But it's just above the surface of the water.
mikeesfp OP t1_j9682if wrote
Well... percentage wise I have to disagree. It's like 52% under water, but hey "that's just like Your opinion.. :D".

Ahhh, I didn't see that it's halfway underwater.

Which doesn’t matter.
mikeesfp OP t1_j96ki6a wrote
A GoPro Hero 10 actually :) for this one. You can see all the camera details in EXIF, just below the photo in the flickr link.
*Edit - since it was menthioned in one of the other comments, the camera was inside a 50/50 dome, which allowed the equal seperation of the water and the surface. Don't get me started on preparing that thing for "salt water" work, as in frame droplets were a real hassle during the photo shoot.

Animated friendly ones or the ones that hypnotized, drowned and possibly ate unexpecting sailors?

teffligrind t1_j97ompd wrote
Exactly my thought! I was looking for the octopus in OPs picture. And a moment later thinking, if this is the cave the scene was shot at.
It's a very random memory, i did not watch it again since then, must be around 25 years since. And also I was not an avid baywatch watcher, it was just a random after-school tv experience. But it seems to be burnt in my mind

Mainly english, but yeah we've got plenty of words ending in the letter n.
Maybe not in 1400's portugese but in modern portugese we do
Overall-Ad-3642 t1_j9c7cwx wrote
In my opinion Algarve is too overpopulated by tourists. Beaches near Coimbra are nice, don't have that many tourists either.
​
Note: Not that I hate tourists, just that it makes the beaches more overcrowded. We've only got a population of like 10,000,000 anyways, most of which don't live near a beach. It is a fact that beaches are mostly populated by tourists (either foreign tourists or portuguese tourists)
