The path leading to the beach is a straight and easy one. Swimming is only advisable during low tide and calm sea conditions, when a small but beautiful stretch of sandy beach is revealed. To the left of the beach, there are diverse and unique shorelines that are worth exploring. The rocks have been shaped by nature into a multitude of interesting forms, providing endless opportunities for photography. Don't forget to take the sandy path to the left, which leads to the enchanting Fenda Donna Beja.

The beach features a stunning view that will leave you in awe. A leisurely stroll along the path on the right side will take you to the paleodunes, which are a sight to behold. The path is easily accessible by a light car, and there is no need to worry about any exits. The parking area is also home to the old salt pans, which are a fascinating historical feature. To top it off, the area is home to a fantastic restaurant that will satisfy your cravings for a delicious meal.
