This hidden gem of a beach boasts impressive waves, perfect for surfing or simply admiring from afar. The descent down to the shore is steep and rocky, but the breathtaking views make it well worth the effort. During high tide, the beach may be small, but the surrounding rocks provide ample space for lounging and soaking up the sun. Compared to the more crowded beaches in town, this secluded spot offers a peaceful escape.

The beach is a picturesque spot that is mostly visited by surfers. The waves are stunning, with tubes and no strong currents, and there are very few people around. However, the walk down to the beach from Rua Projectada can be quite dangerous, and the climb back up is a workout, with a 15.3% incline. The last 40 meters before reaching the sand can be slippery, so it's important to be cautious. If you're confident in walking with flip flops, then you should be fine, but if not, it's best to wear sneakers for safety.

The beach is absolutely stunning! The view is breathtaking and it's a surfer's paradise. If you're looking to catch some waves, I highly recommend going in the evening.

Undoubtedly, the beach in this area is the most stunning one, owing to its secluded nature that ensures you won't have to share it with a lot of people. The hike to reach it is definitely worth it!
