When half of the people on the beach are constantly taking photos of the beach, you know you are in the right place. The way down to the beach is a little tricky and it gets full very quickly, but do try and come early, it's really worth it!

it is close to Piedade, but it is more private, the Grottos around make this small beach a wonderful place. the water is mostly cold but very clean, typical Atlantic. it is a must to see there..

Beautiful beach and excellent sea view dining, what more could you ask for? Take a stroll down to Praia Dona Ana and you will not be disappointed.

If you are nervous of waves, and don't care about sandcastles, this is great. Beautiful, sheltered, with a restaurant and fruit/water/beer hawkers quietly coming through. If your kids like waves, Praia Mos is a better bet, and has all facilities. This one is small and somewhat romantic, like Camillo just over the hill.

We stayed 5 minutes from this beach and its a very relaxing and tranquil place to be. The water is clear the stacks make it even more attractive. You will find a small cove at the end where there is no breeze at all. A great place for a snooze.

We had a very windy week in lagos and whilst the pools at our 5 star resort were too cold and wind swept, this beach was well sheltered and just great!
