A small rocky beach north of Ericeira town, just past São Sebastião beach, surrounded by rocks and small caves carved by erosion. You reach it on a path down the cliff. It is best known for surfing: the waves are consistent but the seabed is rocky, so experience is needed. It is close to the EN247 bus stop by the campsite. It is not an official bathing water: the water is not tested and there is no lifeguard.
