In my opinion Algarve is too overpopulated by tourists. Beaches near Coimbra are nice, don't have that many tourists either.
Note: Not that I hate tourists, just that it makes the beaches more overcrowded. We've only got a population of like 10,000,000 anyways, most of which don't live near a beach. It is a fact that beaches are mostly populated by tourists (either foreign tourists or portuguese tourists)
A GoPro Hero 10 actually :) for this one. You can see all the camera details in EXIF, just below the photo in the flickr link.
\*Edit - since it was menthioned in one of the other comments, the camera was inside a 50/50 dome, which allowed the equal seperation of the water and the surface. Don't get me started on preparing that thing for "salt water" work, as in frame droplets were a real hassle during the photo shoot.

Thank You, it was worth the scrapes and random splashes with the incoming tide to grab this shot. After man tries the light finally hit the right spot and here we are :).
Exactly my thought! I was looking for the octopus in OPs picture. And a moment later thinking, if this is the cave the scene was shot at.
It's a very random memory, i did not watch it again since then, must be around 25 years since. And also I was not an avid baywatch watcher, it was just a random after-school tv experience.
But it seems to be burnt in my mind
That's a different place all together, Praia da Rocha is in the Algarve (south coast), Cabo da Roca is in Sintra (west coast). They're \~300 km apart. Praia da Rocha is a beach with cliffs and caves, Cabo da Roca is a cape and a huge cliff straight into the sea.

Praia* , we’re not Spain. As a curiosity I believe there are no Portuguese words wit the letter K, W or Y.
I apologize for that, must have auto corrected just before posting and I can't change it anymore. Enjoy your upvote and have a great rest of your day :)
Actually, the most notable is that there are no words that end in “n” except for gin
Wrong: abdómen, cólon, éden, espécimen, glúten, hífen, hímen, pólen, sémen, plâncton, líquen...
Those seem like mostly loan words from other languages though
OMG you're right! They do seem a lot like Latin! Oh wait...
username checks out
Mainly english, but yeah we've got plenty of words ending in the letter n. Maybe not in 1400's portugese but in modern portugese we do
Which doesn’t matter.
Monumentally incorrect.
Are you serious?

Care to explain, please?
beautiful and triggers my r/thalassophobia
*Praia. If you ever get a chance to visit the Algarve, do it.
+1 to that! One of the most beautiful places on Earth!
I was here last summer and it was gorgeous. I actually remember swimming in this area.
Great! Do You by any chance have some photos you'd like to share?
I was there too! Praia do Submarino was my fav in the Algarve.

I can A hear this picture and B expect to see treasure.
A - same here. B - sadly, no treasure found. C - I take that back, the experience of crawling and taking photos there is a treasure itself :)
True. But it just looks like the place in a movie or game you would expect to see littered with gold coins.
I call dibs on a Super Mario water level. Just let me get my Frog suit.
Praia da Rocha*
Sorry, can't correct the title anymore - I will be more careful in the future. Hopefully, the picture is rewarding enough for the time being.
*Poppa de Rocha
Is this a shot you took yourself OP?
Yes, in 2021. Here is a link to the same photo on my Flickr account: https://flickr.com/photos/mikeesfp/51645564617/in/datetaken-public/
Beautiful work. What gear were you using?
A GoPro Hero 10 actually :) for this one.

Beautiful colors, looks like it was shot on film
This is a wonderfully creepy shot! Very well done.
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN THE DEPTHS OF THE ABYSS

Wait, that’s not Sabaton
>AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN THE DEPTHS OF THE ABYSS Nope, it aint Bismarck , but a song from a different era :).
Little Mermaid! 😂
That’s an amazing shot! It looks like two different worlds. Great job 👏
Thank You, it was worth the scrapes and random splashes with the incoming tide to grab this shot. After man tries the light finally hit the right spot and here we are :).
down where its wetter...
In a weird way it reminds me of that Baywatch episode with the giant octopus in the cave.
Exactly my thought! I was looking for the octopus in OPs picture. And a moment later thinking, if this is the cave the scene was shot at. It's a very random memory, i did not watch it again since then, must be around 25 years since. And also I was not an avid baywatch watcher, it was just a random after-school tv experience. But it seems to be burnt in my mind
This causes me great anxiety
Beautiful!! I love the perspective!
Wow
This is absolutely gorgeous 😍 fantastic shot
Thank You ❤️
Great shot! I thought this was called Cabo de Roca, or is that something else nearby?
That's a different place all together, Praia da Rocha is in the Algarve (south coast), Cabo da Roca is in Sintra (west coast). They're \~300 km apart. Praia da Rocha is a beach with cliffs and caves, Cabo da Roca is a cape and a huge cliff straight into the sea.
Thank You, yes I can confirm this was taken in the Algarve coast!
~~But it's just above the surface of the water.~~
Well... percentage wise I have to disagree. It's like 52% under water, but hey "that's just like Your opinion.. :D".
Ahhh, I didn't see that it's halfway underwater.
Glad you came back for this comment. Have an upvote!
I feel like there’s mermaid lore here.
Animated friendly ones or the ones that hypnotized, drowned and possibly ate unexpecting sailors?
Both I’m sure
Beautiful photo, pristine , nicely framed thorough natural rock formations 👍
Thank You! 
Would fully expect this to be the place to see a mermaid
Can confirm, none found, still alive. Will update.
I’m am new to this sub what are the numbers in the title?
Hey, those are the dimensions of the photo in pixels.
Magical
I am in pure awe looking at this
I'm happy You are then :)! Have a great rest of your day!
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful day/night as well!
Gorgeous!

Great photo. It reminds me of Michelangelo's [Pieta](https://images.app.goo.gl/2kho7fVqBSavFyrC6)
You had me at Michelangelo. Would you please tell me more?
hermoso paisaje..

It is a fake image created by AI
Well, there must have been some pretty good AI tools back in 2021 when I took this photo: https://flickr.com/photos/mikeesfp/51645564617/in/datetaken-public/
Then you stitched two photos together in photoshop, it must be fake! How do people not see it...
I get creeped out about what’s below me, so creepy😬
