About this beach

Its wide, extensive sandy stretch faces Pessegueiro Island, home to the ruins of a 17th-century fort, one of the most photographed sights on the Alentejo coast.

Holding the Blue Flag for the 2026 bathing season, the beach has a lifeguard, parking, support restaurants, a beach bar, toilets and showers during the supervised period (13 June to 19 September 2026).
