Ideal for soaking up the sun's rays and not overly populated. The sea is delightful, although for my taste, it was a tad chilly for taking a dip.

The beach is absolutely delightful, despite its petite size. It is undoubtedly one of the most memorable beach experiences I have had.

The beach was a delightful spot with pristine sand and a breathtaking vista of the water and the nearby cliffs. Accessible from the train station, it is conveniently located near the tourist hub. However, be aware that this destination is highly sought after, which means that it can become quite congested, and the local bar prices may be steep. But fear not, as you can always opt to purchase a refreshing beverage from one of the many local shops and avoid any inconvenience.

Nestled near the train station lies a quaint and charming beach. It's the first sight to behold upon arriving from Lisbon. Though it's not the biggest beach out there, it's certainly a sight for sore eyes. However, do note that the ocean's temperature might be a tad too chilly for a swim. Nevertheless, this doesn't stop sun-seekers from lounging on the warm sand and soaking up the sun's rays.
