Praia das Maças beach owes its name to a river that used to run through apple orchards and the fruit used to fall into the river that has its mouth on the beach, delivering several Apples (Maças) into the ocean.

It is a mountain range that twists and turns, projecting into the Atlantic Ocean to form Cabo da Roca.
