As you make your way to Arrimadera, a picturesque beach awaits you. A leisurely stroll along the shore, a river crossing on foot, and a short climb up some stairs lead you to a path that guides you to your destination. After a 15 to 20-minute walk, you'll find yourself standing on a stunning stretch of white sand, where the waves are just right for surfing. Slip on your trusty pair of slippers and let the beauty of this beach take your breath away.
