Name: This extensive shoreline is a paradise for those who love to ride the waves, go kiting or stand-up paddleboarding in favorable weather. My visit during the winter season revealed a peaceful atmosphere with only a handful of surfers dotting the beach.

This extensive shoreline is a paradise for those who love to ride the waves, go kiting or stand-up paddleboarding in favorable weather. My visit during the winter season revealed a peaceful atmosphere with only a handful of surfers dotting the beach.

Praia de Sao Roque

8 Nikolai Janković

Small beach with a shower but no changing rooms"

Praia do Populo

8 Ludovic Blumenthal.

We took a dip and a quick stroll. The beach is decent, though it's on the smaller side. It's situated in a small town and there's a restaurant nearby. A lifeguard is on duty, and parking is available in close proximity to the beach.

Pocos das Calhetas

8 Perrin T.

This beach is an ideal spot for those who love snorkeling in calm waters. Although there is no sand, you can still bask in the sun on a smooth surface. The facilities here include changing rooms, toilets, and a shower to wash off the saltwater after a refreshing swim. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the ocean.
