About the beach

This is the first ocean beach in the Lagoa municipality after the mouth of the Arade river, in Ferragudo. The sand, about 40 m wide, lies north of Ponta do Altar, home to a lighthouse and a radar tower, and is framed by limestone cliffs with fossils, caves at their base and a vault with two arches. From the beach you look across to the Arade breakwaters, the marina and the town of Portimão. The surrounding rocks are used by anglers. It is a designated swimming beach with a lifeguard in the bathing season. Water quality was rated Good in 2025.
