Praia da Estaquinha

A tiny sheltered cove with exceptionally calm saltwater ideal for beginner swimmers and young children learning in protected conditions. Rocky cliffs provide natural windbreaks and wave reduction; intimate setting perfect for peaceful swimming. Limited beach space means visiting during off-peak hours is recommended.
