Matteo Bussani

Novice Beachgoer

10 Exceptional

Super nice, secluded beach in a small cove with a cave behind. Very scenic. Situated in a deep recess in the cliff, between two tall rock buttresses, it is accessible only from the sea with a kayak or SUP (you can rent one in the nearby Benagil beach) or small paddling vessel. The water was also very clean, differently from nearby beaches which had a lot of algae floating or at the sea bottom. Would have stayed much longer if only I could have kept my rental kayak for more than 2 hours.

Accesible only by water - kayaking, boat or SUP. Located on the Seven Hanging Valleys hiking trail.

Nice view but very crowdy arround Not a very nice beach itself

6 Pleasant

It is a exquisite place to take a picture and enjoy the surges of the sea, but it is very risky to get there because using Kajak or Stand-Up-Paddle is the only way to reach the waterfront and the waves are strong all the time. They'll push you into the seashore and without professional support, it is hard to land peacefully

Be careful entering these caves we were fine going in but leaving was dangerous with multiple capsizes from everyone there causing injury
