Wide beach in a valley on the Costa Vicentina, backed by dunes and cliffs and packed with surf camps. Several peaks pick up swell from W to SW, so there is nearly always a wave, and easterly winds groom it. Summer suits beginners; autumn and winter bring bigger, heavier surf for intermediates and up. Watch the rips along the rocks at the northern end.
