Costa da Caparica Fossil Cliff Protected Landscape

Costa da Caparica Fossil Cliff Protected Landscape is a protected landscape in Portugal. It is one of the 30 areas which are officially under protection in the country. It was created as a protected area in 1971 by decree of President Américo Tomás.[1] A tourist train connects the beaches along the coast; the north end is family friendly, while Beach 19, at one end of Costa da Caparia, has been a naturist (nudist) area and a "gay beach".[2][3]

Beach 19 lies between the more traditionally named Praia da Bela Vista and Praia Fonte da Telha in Costa da Caparica. ... The beaches of Costa Caparica are served by a miniature train known as the "Transpraia" which runs from the town at the northern end, all the way to Fonte da Telha about 10 km to the south. There are a total of 21 stops along the way of which Praia 19 is the 19th. Praia 19 was originally one of a handful of official naturist beaches in Portugal. However, over time the beach has remained a nudist beach but has become almost exclusively gay. It probably developed this way as this was one of the more remote stretches of the Costa da Caparica.
