Baleal
Edit SpotAbout
Nice atmosphere. The line up feels more like a bar than a surf spot in summer - crowded in summer, fewer people in winter. It is just a fun beach break with everyone learning and improving. The portuguese are in the minority in this bay in summer!
Additional Info:
Fun learners and intermediate beach, sandy bottom. Gets full of surf classes but you can avoid them in winter and also after 5pm
