User reviews
"This is one of the beaches I love the most in Portugal. It's absolutely breathtaking. The hike down is a bit short and dangerous, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children, but it's definitely worth it. The cliffs and ravines also offer some great hiking opportunities. I highly recommend visiting, just please remember to keep it clean."

"Accessing this beach requires a steep descent, which can be hazardous and lacks cellular coverage, making it not advisable. However, the beach itself is breathtaking."
