Cantinho da Baia
Edit SpotAbout
Fun intermediate beach break
Atmosphere:
The whole bay is littered with beach breaks and this is the one closest to the car park and beach bars so extra crowded. Safe and fun and again pretty busy with surf schools during working hours and summer. Ultra crowded in August.
Additional Info:
This is a classic beach break, with learners and intermediates in front of the beach bars of Baleal
