The beach is a truly delightful and tranquil spot. The locals are incredibly friendly and courteous. It's not a popular tourist destination, which adds to its charm and warm atmosphere. When nighttime falls, there is absolute serenity, making it a haven of peace. It's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll to unwind and rejuvenate.

Praia da Longa is an amazing destination for those seeking a serene and unspoiled natural environment, with peaceful and clear waters, as well as a secluded atmosphere for a much-needed relaxation. It is perfect for families with children, offering activities like kayaking and diving. During our stay at Sítio Guardiano, we were delighted by the harmonious blend of nature and the cozy, well-designed house that provided all the comfort we needed. The highlight was definitely the delicious homemade food prepared on a traditional wood stove.
