This beach has stunning black sand and convenient amenities like parking and facilities. It's said that the shallow water and thermal activity make the ocean here warmer, but despite that, the water was still pretty chilly when I went for a swim in mid-June. We arrived in the late afternoon and it was pleasantly uncrowded. Even though the water was cold, the beach's natural beauty made it worth a visit, especially if you've never experienced a black sand beach before.
This beach is truly one of the most picturesque destinations I have ever visited. The charming town of Povoçao is nestled on one side while the awe-inspiring emerald cliffs grace the other. Additionally, for those who prefer to avoid the discomfort of sandy toes, there is a stunning saltwater infinity pool that is free for all to enjoy.
