Sheltered bay beach inside Sesimbra harbour's lee, protected from the Nortada and most Atlantic swell by Cabo Espichel — small and inconsistent for surf but a reliable flat-water beginner option when everything else is stormy.

Hazards very small/inconsistent — mostly a beginner/summer beach · boat traffic near the harbor
