Our hotel staff recommended that we indulge in the breakfast and dinner at the beach, and we were not disappointed. Our final dinner was a delightful evening spent with newfound friends we met during our island getaway. The cuisine was exceptional, and the ladies relished the wine. We extend our gratitude to the entire staff for creating such a memorable experience. Cheers to a wonderful time at the beach! 🥂

This stunning beach has a plethora of beach sport facilities and a charming walking path that leads to a quaint harbor. Additionally, there are numerous gift shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlors in close proximity to the beach. The harbor is lovingly protected by the 'Imaculado Coracao de Maria' atop a nearby hill.

The breathtaking scenery of the beach is truly remarkable. The pristine shoreline is a sight to behold, and the surrounding historic structures and monuments only add to the charm of this location. The first week of June is the perfect time to visit, as there are fewer tourists around to disrupt the tranquil atmosphere.

The beach I visited was the most popular destination I have ever been to. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The town was quaint and charming, and it was easy to get around. What impressed me the most was that it wasn't crowded, which made my visit even more enjoyable. I am grateful to P&O cruise for introducing me to this hidden gem.
