The northern end of Praia do Rosa. A rock bottom and long, powerful waves that work best on a south-southeast swell: the side for people who already surf. From the headland a short trail leads to the natural pool, and the path carries on to Praia Vermelha and Ouvidor.
What only a local knows
- How to do it
- Along the north headland: the natural pool (short trail), Praia Vermelha (about 45 min on foot), Ouvidor just beyond.
- What it costs
- Paid parking in Rosa, which can get expensive; in summer the seafront spaces go early.
- When to go
- On a south-southeast swell, for surfing. The natural pool only at low tide with a calm sea.
- Heads-up
- Rock bottom: not the beach to learn to surf on.
