Very cool little beach without to many people (yet) as you need a car to get there and its quite hidden. Way down/up is doable if you’re in normal condition. Small parking at the top, no facilities at the beach, so bring snacks and take your trash with you.

Perfect, beautiful and secluded! Visited during the month of August and the weather was perfect (a bit windy sometimes, but not too bad). Beautiful water and it wasn’t very crowded compared to other beaches in the area.

This is a very beautiful hike, a very interesting area. It is at times a challenging terrain to walk on with loose gravel and steep climbs but on the whole it is manageable for most fitness levels. The views you get from near the edges are well worth the effort as hopefully you can see from the photographs we have included there is also local tour guides that can show you the area pointing out interest in nature terms. One we used was pernatur

Praia das Fontainhas is a fantastic bathing beach, BUT special attention must be paid to the fact that this beach is not suitable for older and small children who can not swim. It is somewhat cumbersome to get down to the beach, with a narrow and steep access path. You will have to park your car about 10-15 minutes from the beach, so a short walk will be necessary. It is a quiet and cozy beach, so noise is considered rude. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water and take all your waste with you. 👍😎🇩🇰

Beautiful and secluded beach.
Keep in mind the difficult, steep, slippery access. Might be easier by kayaking or swimming in that case.
If you have your balance in order and have the proper footwear, it should be okay, though.
