Pablo from Portugal

“Maybe the best beach in the area - picturesque background with stunning views from the cliffs.

If the main peak right in front of the car park is too packed there are plenty of options down or up the beach to choose from.

Starts working with small swells. Best with no wind or offshore from SE. Does not really work on low tide - best from mid to high.”
