Wide sandy rivermouth south of town; the default beginner/longboard beach in Ericeira. Slightly more protected from NW windswell than the open beaches.

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Calada, Coxos, Matadouro, Pedra Branca, Pescadores, Praia do Sul, Ribeira d'Ilhas, São Julião. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
