Partly naturist. Small cliff-backed cove between Salema and Zavial, facing south-east. It is shielded from most Atlantic swell, so it is mainly a calm swimming beach.

Hazards rocks at both ends of the cove · rock platform exposed at low tide · cliff fall from the slope behind the beach · rips when a big swell wraps in

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Burgau, Praia da Luz, Salema. 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 Praia do Zavial, Praia da Ingrina, Salema, Burgau, Martinhal
