The Atlantic coast at Porto Covo, a civil parish in the municipality of Sines, Portugal. Well known for its beaches, it is located on the western coast of Portugal, about 170 km (110 mi) south of Lisbon. The name "Porto Covo" probably means Port of the covos, where a covo is a kind of fishing net for capturing lobsters and crabs.Photo: Joaquim Alves Gaspar
