The best beach in the Sagres area. It needs a hefty NW swell or a standard S to work and is offshore on N winds. When good it's a classy left wedge that handles up to double overhead. It's very hollow and fast and overrun with hot locals. The most consistent of the Sagres beaches is generally pretty average. Lower tidal stages on the push are better as is a W swell. It doesn't pick up as much swell as the west coast so it is a popular place for beginner/intermediates and the many local bodyboarders. Highly consistent, often crowded, currents and localism, but the water is clean, and amenities include showers, lifeguard, bodyboard surf school, surfshop and camping in town.
