Tiny sandy cove in a narrow cliff-lined inlet, best known for the sea caves reached by boat or kayak. Sheltered, but boat traffic makes it a poor place to swim far out.

Hazards tour boats and kayaks cross the swim zone · sea caves can trap swimmers in swell · rockfall from the cliffs around the cove · very crowded in summer, small beach

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Alemão, Alvor, Carvoeiro, Ferragudo (Praia Grande), Praia da Rocha (Portimão), Vau. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.

Nearby spots Carvoeiro, Armação de Pêra, Albufeira — Praia da Galé / Salgados, Ferragudo (Praia Grande), Praia da Rocha (Portimão)
