Praia das Milicias
10 Karel krl Novotný

This extensive shoreline is a paradise for those who love to ride the waves, go kiting or stand-up paddleboarding in favorable weather. My visit during the winter season revealed a peaceful atmosphere with only a handful of surfers dotting the beach.

This beach is absolutely delightful, boasting a charming restaurant that serves delicious food. Safety is a top priority, as there are always two vigilant lifeguards on duty.

This idyllic location is a true gem. Nestled amongst the two exquisite Agua d'Alto sandy beaches, it boasts unparalleled beauty and tranquility. Despite its splendor, it remains refreshingly uncrowded, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. Furthermore, parking is a breeze, even during peak season. It's the ultimate spot for those seeking a serene and picturesque escape.
