The sandbank is backed by a wooded area, providing much-needed shade and easy accessibility to the beach.

6 Pleasant

May not be suitable for swimming due to the poor quality of the Noia estuary's water, but it is still a stunningly beautiful and peaceful place to stroll or relax. What's more, it has white sand and some truly magical spots to discover.

Report

8 Very good

Anything but peaceful. The path between the trees is the only thing that offers a sliver of solace; otherwise, the beach is a deafening cacophony of noise. There's no peace to be found here.

That place is the perfect to relax and unwind. The tranquil atmosphere is complemented by its white sand, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll.

8 Very good

This estuary beach is the perfect place to relax and unwind, with its calm and familiar atmosphere. There is a small pier next to it, as well as a few places to grab a drink and watch the incredible sunsets from the terrace. Parking and easy access make it even more convenient, and there are plenty of nearby areas to explore on foot.
