Simons Book Club | Praia da Ursa: Hidden Beach in Portugal @SimonsBookClub | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I spent the day at the most beautiful beach I ever experienced, at the edge of the Western World.
📍 Praia da Ursa
I parked near Cabo da Roca, and Fudgy and I took the half hour hike 130m down, through sharp angles and steep rocks, with rope to help us get down to this hidden beach. Giant rock formations jut out of the water, with one looking like Godzilla breaching the shores. I spent the afternoon there, eating fruit, playing fetch with Fudgy, and drinking the sun through my skin.
Getting back out is a small lesson in heartbreak: we didn’t want to leave, but we all had to lace our boots back up, and start the Sisyphean work to climb out of paradise. We can’t play forever, and it takes work to get back out into the rest of the world. Though I know this place will be here for me when I need it again.
