That place is amazing! The sand is so white and the water is so blue. This beach is far from impressive. The sand is dull and the water is a murky shade of blue.

This beach near Carrasqueira in Bueu may be spacious and comfortable, but it's sorely lacking in services and upkeep. It's a real shame because the potential is there, but it's been sadly neglected.
