This exquisite beach is an ideal spot for families with young children. The crystal-clear waters and soft sand create a serene and safe environment for little ones to play and splash around. However, it's important to note that the road leading to the beach can be challenging for smaller rental cars. So, exercise caution and take your time when driving to this picturesque destination.

Out of all the beaches in the south of Portugal, this one is definitely the best. It's not too crowded and the sand is crystal clear. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible.

This beach is absolutely amazing! The white sand and crystal clear water make for a picturesque setting that's hard to beat. What's even better is that it's easily accessible, so you won't have to trek far to enjoy it. Plus, the fact that there are only a few people around makes it all the more enjoyable.
