After the fire destroyed the old restaurant a new pop up canteen has been opened as a temporary measure. The owner said they are waiting for permission to rebuild and expect to be back to normal in 2027.
The beach has plenty of sunbeds, 25 euros a day for two. The food is ok but not like before because of the lack of a charcoal grill. Bar, toilets and showers all excellent.
Lovey sheltered beach, great for windy days when there’s a red flag, you can stand by the rocks and get showered by the waves crashing down on them.

Our favorite beach in the Algarve. Coastline is stunning and a great place to explore the rich formations. Always find interesting shells and rocks, even some urchins! Check the tide, always better when low IMO.

Beautiful scenery. Peaceful walk through national park to beach. Very clean beach and water.

Quite cool little beach, it has rocks and a bit of sand for those that are not just about lying on the sand to catch sun. It also has a little beach bar that serves food and drinks, showers and paid sun loungers. Probably worth mentioning that it’s better with higher tides, with low tide the little rocky pools are empty. Beware parking is not huge! All in all worth a visit.

Wonderful place for our delicious lunch
Beautiful quiet bay with a top terrace Evaristo. Can't find it on TA therefore but here the Review. Very friendly service and delicious lunch. Not super cheap but you sit on a beautiful terrace with priceless views. Dolphins spotted, seem to be here often.

Idyllic bay with a nice beach
Beautiful little beach between the rocks. Nice coarse sandy beach, where you can relax even without a bed. We were there in October, so lovely weather. In the summer it seems very hot to me and there is only a small area where parasols are allowed. I didn't understand the logic of this. Swimming is…

Major changes to the "park" roadway; update review
After years of unfinished (post 2008 recession) construction, major changes are occurring in the "park" which borders the road to the beach. A huge Marriott five star resort is now underway stretching for a kilometre from the main road to the shoreline encompassing its original land and the forme…

Beautiful beach
A beautiful but small beach with a bar and a restaurant. Take shoes or sandals with you to be able to explore the peripheral areas because aside from the beach there are beautiful rocky surfaces that merit exploration.

Beautiful rocky beach with amazing scenery
We visited in October, it’s a lovely small beach with amazing scenery. Great free car park. It’s another must visit beach on the Algarve, lovely restaurant and small cafe both with great views
