It's just... okay. Not bad, not great. It's a beach, what more can you expect?

The beach was virtually deserted and was easily accessible from the Grove port. The water was spotless and tranquil, which was ideal for children. Parking was convenient, and when we visited in August, there were plenty of spaces available.

This spot was the perfect spot to chill out. I was looking for Praia das pipas and ended up here, and it was empty. My daughter and I enjoyed the solitude and spent a great afternoon here.

The water was high, but it was still a wonderful experience! The beach was an absolute blast to explore, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Even with the high water, it was a great time to be had by all!
