Portugal Cemetery of Anchors
Portugal’s Cemitério das Âncoras, or “Anchor Graveyard”, sprawls across the shifting sand dunes of Barril Beach on Tavira Island. Lined up on edge with near-military precision, hundreds of rusted anchors memorialize southern Portugal’s long-lost tuna fishery and the generations of fisher-folk whose livelihoods vanished along with the fish.
Travel Information
You can't get there by car. It is possible to walk the way to the beach and the cemetery on the island or you can take the local "tourist train".
