Portugal, Praia da Ursa: (Bear's beach - so named because a huge finger of rock marks the spot and looks from certain angles like a bear) is difficult to access - a twenty minute climb down a boulder-strewn path can find you without a beach at all. It all depends on the time of year, tides and currents. And because of this access and uncertainty many can't be bothered to make the trip. It is a secret location heavily guarded by the few that do make the effort. Mostly the only sound you will hear is the crashing of waves, punctuated by the occasional seagul - and that brings a tranquility all of it's own.
