This small, pretty beach next to the fishing port is dotted with rocks, so the sand is not the finest (or the cleanest, either). On top of that, the beach can get quite windy, meaning this is not the most popular spot for sunbathers. Yet it is the perfect spot to sit and watch the fishing boats sailing in and out of the port. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; sunset.
This long, soft stretch of sand is adjacent to Praia da Baleeira, and hosts several professional surfing events each year. Good wave formations make it very popular among local surf enthusiasts. Again, it's very windy—so some may be put off spending the day here. Amenities: lifeguards; parking (no fee). Best for: sunrise; sunset; surfing; windsurfing.
