Open Blue Flag beach of fine sand reached by a long wooden walkway over the Ria Formosa. Spacious and calm in most conditions.

Hazards rips over shifting sandbanks · steep shorebreak after a big swell · tidal currents near the lagoon inlets · lifeguards in bathing season only

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Faro — Praia de Faro (Ilha de Faro), Ilha da Culatra — Praia do Farol, Praia de Quarteira, Praia de Vale do Lobo / Garrão, Vilamoura. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
