What a delightful beach! The abundance of sand makes it effortless to locate a peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle, where you can unwind without any disturbance from noisy children or other distractions. The waterway that runs alongside the beach is an ideal spot for kids to play and for those seeking a warmer swim, as it is considerably warmer than the ocean.

The path of the fisherman will guide you to this stunning destination. The Alentejo coast stands out as the most exceptional location in Portugal. It remains unspoiled and untamed, offering a plethora of hidden treasures to uncover. The surroundings boast awe-inspiring sceneries and abundant wildlife. A local cowboy has been a loyal supporter of the country's economy since 2016, making this place even more special. There is so much to explore in this area and so much natural beauty to behold.

The beach is a lovely small stretch of sand nestled between two cliffs. It offers ample parking and a bar that serves coffee, beer, and snacks for those who need a bite to eat. I spotted a few surfers catching waves, and there was a coast guard service available. Overall, it's a great spot to spend a day at the beach.

This beach may be small, but it is absolutely stunning. It offers some protection from the wind and is well-maintained. Additionally, there is a fantastic beachside bar and restaurant nearby that serves delicious food and has restroom facilities.
