Praia do Magoito

IndoVoyage Archipelago
This stunning beach has a plethora of walking paths that lead to different areas, all easily accessible by multiple roads. Unlike other beaches in the vicinity, this one has a more gradual slope, making it easier to navigate. However, as is common with many beaches in Portugal, furry friends are not permitted.
Praia de Sao Lourenco

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.

This beach is well-maintained and offers various amenities and surf shops. It's a great spot for beginner surfers. Additionally, there are plenty of parking spots available. The restaurants in the area are generally good.
Praia das Macas

This beach is great for dog owners and the locals are very welcoming. The water can be chilly, but the river running alongside the beach provides warmer water. Unfortunately, there is a lot of litter that washes up on the shore and it seems like people don't make an effort to clean up after themselves. I try to do my part by picking up plastic every day, but it's disappointing that more people don't use the recycling bins and dispose of their trash properly. It would be great if we all worked together to make this beach a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone.
