A white-sand beach between Paimogo beach to the north and Areia Branca to the south, about 7 km from Lourinhã town. The cliff on the eastern side shows tilted, folded rock layers containing dinosaur fossils. It is popular for angling and with people who want a day close to nature, away from the busier beaches. It is not an official bathing water: the water is not tested and there is no lifeguard.
