Playa Barrigona
8 Luzia Dos Reis

Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, Playa Barrigona is a serene and unpopulated stretch of beach. It's situated just a 30-minute drive from Sámara, but the road leading to it is quite bumpy and full of potholes (especially in November). However, it's still accessible to 2-wheel drive vehicles. The beach is favored by surfers and boasts choppy waters along the shore. There are signs warning of rip currents, so caution is advised. While there's plenty of shade to be found, it's recommended to bring along beach towels or camping chairs for added comfort. There are no amenities available, so come prepared.
