The beach is well-maintained and secure, with amenities such as showers, changing rooms, and a restroom. However, it is important to note that the beach operates on a schedule and is not open 24/7.

This urban beach boasts a soft, sandy shore and is equipped with a convenient beach bar and attentive lifeguards. The beach is divided by a stretch of large rocks, which can be a bit of a challenge during high tide. However, if you position your towel near the promenade, you'll still be able to enjoy the crystal-clear waters. The only drawback is the view of the nearby port, but overall it's a great spot for a refreshing swim near Ponta Delgado.

This beach is perfect for everyone, from young to old. When we visited, the water was calm and there were plenty of kids swimming. The beach has been awarded a blue flag, ensuring top-notch services. It's an ideal spot for unwinding, taking a nap, or spending a day soaking up the sun. There are also plenty of recreational activities nearby and ample parking. If you appreciate my feedback and photos, please give me a like to motivate me to keep sharing my experiences. Thank you kindly.

The beach appeared absolutely stunning, catching our eyes as we strolled by for a quick lunch. I couldn't help but wish we had more time to explore its beauty. During our visit, the beach was relatively quiet during lunchtime, but as the day progressed, it transformed into a bustling hub of activity. By 4PM, the beach was overflowing with people, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere.

One of the most sought-after beaches in São Miguel is the subject of this review. The beach is separated by a rock formation, which creates a cozy nest for visitors to enjoy. A large parking area is available for convenience, and there are plenty of tasty snacks to try. The beach also offers top-notch amenities, including shower facilities. Currently, the Aqua Center, located nearby, is undergoing renovations.
