We were here because we stayed in the resort next to this praia. 1. The parking lot is quite wide for parking your vehicles. 2. The place is quite clean in the sand (we picked up some plastics from the sand). Next to the stairs where people wash their food or hand, it is quite dirty. Some people need to throw their rubbish in the place where should be thrown. The main dustbin is upstairs next to the surf school. No dustbin in tue beach, may ne because of the wave. 3. Many surfers there to train. It is quite interesting to see them chase the wave. 4. The water is muito bom for swimming.

You should come here expecting wind and ice cold water. Still, it's a great beach to go for a walk, particularly when the tide is low. If that's your plan, follow North towards the river and you'll have a few km of peace and cold winds.
