What it actually is
- Surface
- Pebble (calhau)
- Municipality
- Porto Moniz
A pebble shore on the north coast, reached from Seixal. The municipality’s own pages warn that bathers on this stretch are caught out with some frequency, even when the swell looks harmless from the path.
What the state says about it
Annex IV of Portaria n.º 204-A/2026/1 lists it as a designated bathing water, with a 2026 season running June 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026.
It does not appear in the “praia de banhos” column. The annex’s own footnote says that means assistance to bathers is not assured — not “sometimes”, not “in season”. Not assured.
What it costs
Free. There is no entry charge.
Getting there
It sits in the concelho of Porto Moniz, which is how the portaria files it.
We print no bus route for this one. Route numbers are published here only for the four destinations checked against the operator’s own guides, and this is not among them.
