Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Beautiful beach in the midle of natural park Alentejano, surrounded nice hills with no human sign of civilization, just a car park and a small bar,and a imponent cliffs on both sides of the beach. Nice atmosphere quite and relexed also in hi-season(August)as you never feel the crowd on the beach as in the water. |
| |
General |
Definitely good to surf year round, also in August with small waves 'cause are hollow and fast.it's more protected from NW wind than Praia Carrapeteira.Easy acces to the water, no rips up to 6ft-2m.With low tide,3ft swell there are to good point:in front of carpark, where a submerged rock is(left),and at the of the beach(short walk 10min)next to the rocks(left&right) |
