- This beach is located in a beautiful cove in the shape of a shell, sheltered from the cold north and swells of the north, associated with a small fishing village.
The sand is extensive, with more than 500 meters, it is bordered by imposing black cliffs, carved in schist. Looking south, a dark and narrow gravel rising from the sea stands out in the landscape; it is the Pedra da Agulha that has become an icon of the Vincentian coast.
There are good conditions for diving at the northern end of the beach, next to the fishing port, which is also one of the best beaches for surfing and bodyboarding. The panoramic view of the Fortress of Arrifana (currently in ruins), at the top of the northern cliff, is breathtaking.
At Ponta da Atalaia, famous for its barnacles, there are traces of a Muslim Ribat, a convent-fortress of great archaeological value.
Note: Given the possibility of landslides and rocks coming off, it is recommended that you keep a safe distance from the cliffs.
Road access is tarmacked from the southern entrance to Aljezur (EN 120), heading towards the beach for approximately 8 km. Ample and orderly parking at the top of the cliff, before heading down to the beach. Restricted road traffic and parking next to the beach. Support equipment (restaurant, toilet and recreational support - surf school) and surveillance during the bathing season. Orientation: west / southwest.

The Fortress of Arrifana is a military monument, located in the town of Arrifana, in the municipality of Aljezur, in the Algarve region, in Portugal. It was built in 1635 to protect the coastal strip in the Arrifana area, having been the subject of several rebuilding works throughout its history, mainly after the destruction caused by the 1755 earthquake. It went into decline at the end of the 18th century, and in 1861 was already completely abandoned. The fortress is located on a promontory, about 70 m above sea level.
