We hiked to the beach and took the water taxi back. The beach was packed and had a fantastic bar.

Grande de Figueira Beach Praia Grande de Figueira

9 TerraNova

A place of serenity and natural beauty. The water is a stunning shade of blue, though I must warn you - it's cold enough to give you goosebumps. But hey, that's just part of the experience, right? Now, let's talk about the current. It can be a bit of a wild card. Sometimes it's as calm as a sleeping baby, and other times it's as fierce as a lion on the hunt. So, if you see any marked areas, I suggest you steer clear - unless you fancy yourself a strong swimmer. But, let's not dwell on the negatives. This beach is truly paradise. The scenery is breathtaking and the photo opportunities are endless. So, grab your camera and soak up the beauty that surrounds you.

Ossos Beach Praia dos Ossos

10 Lila Renaldi

This beach doesn't get enough credit. I was originally planning to go to azeda beach, but I stumbled upon Praia dos Ossos and opted to stay there instead because it was peaceful, the water was incredibly transparent, and the sight of the boats was breathtaking. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the beach, as it was much less crowded compared to other beaches.

The warmest month during the year in this area is January, with the air temperature rising up to 28.3°C and the water temperature up to 26°C. The coldest month is July, with the air temperature dropping down to 24°C and the water temperature down to 22.4°C. The temperature of the air and water allows for comfortable rest in the locality all year round, which tourists and locals enjoy with pleasure and benefit.
