Latest reviews on Gentias's beaches

Praia de Sao Lourenco
10 Sara Laine

This charming beach is perfect for families and is conveniently located on the surf route. While it may not be as dependable as Ribeira to the South, it is still a stunning spot. The beach is well-maintained and features a cafe/bar, as well as easy access to the sand. Restrooms are conveniently located next to the bar, and children will enjoy feeding the nearby ducks. The beach also offers free umbrella grass shades, which are more plentiful and better situated closer to the sea than those found at Ribeira.

The beach is absolutely fantastic, particularly when the weather is favorable. It's an excellent spot for novice surfers to hone their skills. It's also one of my favorite places to visit at dawn.

Praia da Calada

This beach is truly remarkable! The accessibility and parking are top-notch. However, the most outstanding feature is the lack of cell phone reception (although an emergency phone is available on site). This allows for quality time with loved ones, free from the distractions of technology.
