Punchy cliff-flanked beach break south of Milfontes that holds size well; exposed to the full Atlantic and the Nortada alike.

Hazards rips · rock outcrops at both ends · cliff access path

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Praia do Cavaleiro, Zambujeira do Mar. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
