I visited the stunning secret Portuguese beach without the crowds – only accessible by kayak | The Sun

THERE'S a little-known beach in Europe that has turquoise waters and no crowds – but you'll need a kayak to reach it.

The beaches in Portugal can get very crowded, but there are still some secluded spots where holidaymakers can relax in peace.

Tucked away on the Algarve Coast, Praia da Corredoura has become a hit with tourists thanks to its unusual entrance.

The beach can only be accessed from the water, with most visitors choosing to use a kayak.

TikToker Kay, who is known as kaypeeaa on the social media platform, posted a video detailing her arrival via kayak on the sandy beach.

A caption over the video read: "You're on your way to Praia da Corredoura, a remote beach only accessed by boat on the Algarve coast.

"The ocean is calm, the sun is shining and my favourite playlist is on full blast."

In a follow-up video, she showed herself arriving on the golden sand where she posed for several photos.

In the comments, other holidaymakers described the beach as "stunning".

The Algarve beach is surrounded by tall cliffs that protect it from the wind.

Because the beach is hard to reach, it's often free from hordes of other holidaymakers – even in the height of summer.

Holidaymakers who want to explore the beach can hire kayaks for €15 (£12.90) from the nearby fishing village of Benagil.

There aren't any facilities on the beach so make sure to bring snacks, drinks, parasols, towels, and anything else you may need.

Once on the beach, holidaymakers are treated to crystal-clear waters, golden sands, and stunning views.

There are other remote beaches in the area that are better viewed in the water like Benagil Cave.

And this isn't the only secluded beach with a novelty entrance that users have been raving about online.

Tucked away on the Greek island of Milos, Tsigrado Beach has become a hit with tourists thanks to its novelty entrance.

The beach can only be accessed through a small crevice that leads to a wooden ladder and a piece of rope.

If you don't fancy jetting off abroad, there's a beach in the UK that's been likened to the Portuguese coastline.
