Couple photoshoot on the beach at Costa da Caparica

An August evening on the wide beach of Costa da Caparica, across the river from Lisbon, finishing in the dunes as the sun went down.

Grass, sand and the final soft light after sunset.

Light and timing

The coast faces west, so in early August the sun sets over the ocean at about 20:40. We start about an hour before and finish in the dunes.
