Fajã da Areia Spot Guide
About Fajã da Areia
A.k.a 'Chickens' this spot is perhaps the most frequently surfed on the island, due to its relatively low danger level compared with other breaks. A hollow bowl at the peak leads into whackable performance walls on small to medium N swells.
Beginner/improvers favorite so often crowded. Always bigger than it looks from shore.
