Great beach to be away from it all. Used to be a pirate beach in the old days. Fateixa is the Portuguese word for a grapnel anchor...a hook they used to catch another ship! You can climb down with some ropes. Not too dangerous....

Unique solitary beach. It is sandy but paved with flat smooth rocks partly covered with mosses and lichens which create a unique effect. Enchanting...

Impressive beach, difficult to access and therefore with very few people. Access is from the sidings on the path that runs along the edge of the cliff.
