The entrances need some serious attention. Using wood as a material is not a good idea as it poses a risk of getting splinters on one's feet. The sand is also not well-maintained and is all over the place.

Ah, the beach. A vast expanse of sand that stretches out before you, beckoning you to come and bask in its glory. On a day when the sun is scorching and the temperatures are soaring, the water is a cool 18 degrees - a refreshing respite from the heat. And don't worry, there are lifeguards on duty to keep you safe from the strong waves and currents that are typical of Portuguese beaches. But the real gems of this beach are the charming little cafes and restaurants that line the promenade. You can grab a bite to eat and a cold drink while taking in the stunning views of the sea. And despite the crowds of people, it's still quieter than the bustling Figueira da Foz. So come on down and enjoy the sand, surf, and sunshine - just be sure to bring your sunscreen!
