Very nice looking beach. A bay from Peniche to Baleal. Perfect white sand. Rocks on each side of the 2km bay. Lots of space during all the year. Entries at Peniche and at Baleal (most used one). Nice and hard sand for mountainboard, no rocks. Plenty of space to land/launch the kites. Enough room to self lauch even at high tide.
