This destination is quite popular among tourists and can get quite crowded. However, this can add to the vacation experience. Nevertheless, there are alternative locations to explore, such as Portimão, for those seeking a more secluded beach getaway.

As the morning rain cleared, the beach was blessed with a delightful evening weather. Although the water may be chilly, the warmth of the sun more than compensates for it. A pair of vigilant lifeguards are stationed until 7pm, ensuring the safety of all beach-goers. The sand is as fine as powder, providing a comfortable spot to lounge and soak up the sun.

This charming little cove is a true gem tucked away from the hustle and bustle. A delightful boardwalk awaits at the hilltop, offering breathtaking views of stunning cliffs. On a clear day, the vista extends all the way to Sagres, adding to the already mesmerizing experience.
