South-facing town beach tucked behind Cabo de São Vicente — the opposite exposure from Tonel/Beliche next door. Only wakes up when big W/NW swell wraps around the cape, but stays glassy and Nortada-proof when the west coast is blown out.

Hazards small harbor / boat traffic nearby · rocks at bay edges

Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Martinhal, Praia da Ingrina, Praia do Zavial. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
