It's a lively area, especially during the summer months, and offers direct access to the expansive sandy beach.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find Praia da Barra an excellent choice. You can enjoy long walks on the beach, watch the sunset over the Atlantic, and dine at various seafood restaurants. The proximity to the lighthouse also offers a unique landmark to explore.

Just a short walk or drive south from Praia da Barra, you'll find Costa Nova. This area is famous for its colourful striped houses, traditionally used by fishermen. It has a more laid-back feel than Praia da Barra but still offers a beautiful beach and a selection of local eateries.
