Sheltered W/NW-facing cove just west of Sagres point; smaller and friendlier than the open coast, a good progression spot when Beliche is too heavy. Coordinate corrected 2026-08-29: was 37.0075,-8.943, which sat 319 m INLAND beside the roundabout in Sagres town — 456 m from Praia do Tonel and only 125 m from Mareta. That is what made the coast audit match the wrong beach: its shore normal read 158 deg, pointing at Mareta across the peninsula, and flagged the facing as suspect when the stored 290 was right all along. Moved to the centroid of the OSM Praia do Tonel polygon (49 nodes, 389 m N-S), which sits 20 m from the coastline with the seaward normal at 259 deg — 31 deg from the stored facing, inside tolerance, so the facing is unchanged.
