This beach is truly stunning! It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever laid my eyes on. The sand is pure and unspoiled, and the water is crystal clear. It is an ideal location for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful meditation session. Moreover, the small chapel situated on top of the beach adds to its charm and beauty. The chapel provides a picturesque setting, and it is an excellent spot for taking pictures or just admiring the breathtaking view. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wants to experience its beauty firsthand.

Praia Nova is a spacious and welcoming beach that's perfect for families. It's conveniently linked to the neighboring Praia de Nossa Senhora da Rocha by a tunnel, making it easy to explore both beaches. Although Praia Nova lacks amenities, the nearby beach has everything you need. This charming and peaceful beach is an excellent choice for a relaxing day out. Free parking is available nearby, but a brief stroll is required. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Praia Nova.

The beach features a stunning view with immaculate sand that is truly remarkable. Many have attested to its cleanliness, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing day by the shore. To get to this beach, one can either take the stairs or venture through a small tunnel from the neighboring Praia de Nossa.

This beach seems to be the go-to spot for those who enjoy a good morning jog or a quiet stroll. The off-season and early hours of the day provide a serene atmosphere with colorful shells scattered about. If the tide is low, it may be worth trekking through the rocks for a change of scenery. The sunrise paints a picturesque view, but let's be real, it's just another beach.

The beach is truly stunning and can be reached either by taking the steps or by passing through a tunnel from the adjacent beach. While there are no amenities such as cafes or restrooms, the breathtaking scenery more than makes up for it.
