About the beach

A semi-natural beach in Afife with about 1 km of soft sand, continuous dune ridges crossed by a long boardwalk, and small coves sheltered from the wind by outcrops of schist and quartzite. The Afife river forms a wetland and a small coastal lagoon by the beach, and a Neolithic burial mound (mamoa) stands about 400 metres from the sea. Surfing, bodyboarding and recreational fishing are practised here.
