The beach offers of its pristine white sand, offering a picturesque view of Figueira da Foz and Serra da Boa Viagem on the opposite side of the Mondego River.

The panoramic view of the surroundings is simply breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for a serene and tranquil getaway.

The shoreline of this beach exhibits a greater degree of undulation and is subject to more gusts of wind than its northern counterparts. Nevertheless, it remains a highly enjoyable and pleasant location to spend time.
