Wide south-facing sandy bay in a fishing village, with a mellow right and left sandbar that works on a mid tide. Quiet most of the year, busy with swimmers in summer.
Hazards urchins on the rocks at both ends · rocks at the sides of the bay · swimmers and boats share the shorebreak zone · rips beside the rocks when the swell is up
Shared forecast The offshore forecast here is shared with Burgau, Praia da Luz. Wave models resolve about 8 km, so neighbouring beaches read the same swell. What separates them is orientation, seabed and tide, not the forecast.
