What to do in Praia de Moledo? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Praia de Moledo welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

The beach delivered some truly incredible waves, making it an excellent spot for surfing enthusiasts. The surf conditions were top-notch, and the location itself was breathtakingly beautiful. Another great aspect of this beach is the convenience of parking directly adjacent to the shoreline, making it easily accessible. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable day at the beach.

The beach offers a pristine stretch of white sand that is impeccably clean. The seascape is breathtaking, offering a stunning view of the Spanish border. The Northern part of the beach features a gentle swell with small breaks, except for the area where a reef causes the waves to break in multiple directions. On the other hand, the Southern part of the beach has a steep shoreline, resulting in a thrilling big break with plunging breaker waves that offer great fun.

The beach with breathtaking beauty that leaves you in awe. It's a perfect spot to relax and unwind, as you sit and watch the waves crashing against the shore. During low tide, you can explore the beach and discover little shells that add to the charm of this natural wonder. The paved path that runs along the coast from Vila Praia de Âncora to Moledo is an ideal spot for cycling enthusiasts, as you can take in the stunning views of the ocean while enjoying a leisurely ride. The beach is a true gem that offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
