Small beach between the cliffs, that owes its name to a shepherd who lived here. To get here you may take a boat, go down the cliff or, if there is low water, you find an access through the Barranco de Canas beach.

A beautiful nudist beach that you can access at low tide through a cave to the small beach next door. Access is a little difficult to reach by climbing, but that also means there are fewer people there. tripadvisor.de/Attraction_Review-g189120-d10474678-Reviews-Joao_de_Arens_Beach-Portimao_Faro_District_Algarve.html
