The ultimate breath of fresh air with a stunning view!
The path heading west is perfect for a long trek; you can walk right across the sand or the wooden boardwalks with the Armação de Pêra skyline as a scenic backdrop. Despite the clouds, the vastness of this beach is impressive. Highly recommended for those who love peace, nature, and the raw power of the sea!

Spectacular beach. Some surf damage to the boardwalk but the beach bar is open ! There is a nice restaurant near the carpark.

One of the prettiest beaches I have been to. Take a look at the sunset we saw. Also loved that we could walk behind and have direct access from the hotel.

This beach is long and the sand is quite granular. In May, there were not a lot of Beach goers when we were there.

Parking is quite plentiful, there is a concession stand, and some cabanas for rent at €10 a day on the west side.

It is not as exotic as some of the beaches near Benagil for the lack of huge boulders and giant caves. However, this beach offers easier access and amenities.

Highly recommended.

Great clean yellow sand beach with sun lounger rental available.
On the eastern side there are rock pools which are great for kids to explore and there is a restaurant and cafe with takeaway right before the beach as well.
