The northern end of Praia do Rosa. The break has a sand bottom beside the rocky headland and can receive powerful waves. Conditions change with swell, wind and sandbanks. The path to the natural pool starts on the headland; the trail to Vermelha continues beyond and can carry on to Ouvidor.
What only a local knows
- How to do it
- From the northern headland, choose the natural-pool outing or the trail to Vermelha. Plan the route and return before continuing to Ouvidor.
- What it costs
- Check parking options and the price at your chosen lot. In summer, allow time to find a space.
- When to go
- For surfing, check the forecast and break that day. For the natural pool, assess tide and sea before following the headland.
- Heads-up
- Waves and currents may require experience. If you are learning, ask a local school to choose the spot and time.
