Ranked as the finest beach in Portugal! It's an ideal spot for surfing with the vast sea. The water may be slightly colder, but it's a great beach that's rich in iodine.

This is a perfect spot for our family to spend a day at the beach. The beach is conveniently located near both the north and south parking areas, and a brand new boardwalk connects the restaurants and beach access points. Walking south on the boardwalk will take you to an access road that leads through farmed areas and loops around to the upper areas, offering a breathtaking view. The primary area where surf schools are run is also a great spot for surfing, with a pretty good surf break that is usually chest high. The beach itself is quite large and sandy, with easy access points all along. However, as you move further south, it gradually becomes more cliff-laden and eventually turns into a rocky break that is perfect for exploring. If you have a steady footing, you can even walk up to the farm land and back down to the beach from the top, or take the road back around.

Praia da Areia Branca is an excellent destination for surf enthusiasts, with top-notch surf schools available online. But it's not just for surfers - families will also find plenty to enjoy here, thanks to the well-organized town hall events that cater to children and adults alike. Unlike many tourist hotspots, Praia da Areia Branca has a small-town feel, with a cozy village atmosphere and reasonable prices. Despite its relative obscurity, the area is easily accessible and offers a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy.
