White sand beach with a very calm surf. Stop by Lava Lava Beach Club right beside the beach for a drink and lunch.

Nice and calm beach full of wildlife. Water isn’t crystal clear but clean and warm. Would definitely return. Saw turtles and seals and lots of fish.

Adorei esta praia. É linda! É fácil ver tartarugas e ainda tive o bónus de estar um foca monge a relaxar na areia.
