"The beach is really nice but no bar or restaurant so be prepared with your food and drinks"

Laura Volpe

"Nice beach 10 minutes from Praia away. The beach is quite empty. When I was there, there were only 3 other people. The sea is not every ideal for a swim as there are a lot of waves. Water temperature is perfect for a bath in the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately there is no real Restaurant or Bar on this beach. Just a very small "bistro" with practically no choice of dishes."
