The beach is truly magnificent, with its pristine waters and soft sands. However, there are times when the excessive presence of seaweed can be a bit of a drawback. Nonetheless, this does not detract from the overall beauty and allure of this stunning beach.

As expected, this beach is quite popular among tourists, yet it remains stunningly beautiful. It's highly recommended to arrive early to fully appreciate its charm.

The beach is quite pleasant, albeit slightly smaller than some of Portugal's other beaches. There are some stones scattered around, but they do not detract from the overall experience.
