About

The quality of the water is very clear and nice to surf, one problem however is the water temprature..it´s freezing all year round. I just got back from surfing it in mid August and you definatley need a 3/2 steamer summer, winter i´d say all the gear cap, booties, gloves etc otherwise you will freeze before you take your first wave. This beachie doesn´t harbour as many boogie boarders as other local beaches and i hear there are presently 2 good banks there, an inside bank and an outer one for bigger days. There is a good cafe/bar on the beach also which is quite nice for a beer after ... SUPER BOK !!!! A couple of bikinis on the beach to boost the views, and if you are game, a nude hangout spot further down the beach.

Additional Info:
During the summer months if there is a good swell, get there early, as the car park fills up pretty quick and you may find yourself parking way up on the road.

Drive to Villa Do Bispo, from there go throw the town, follow the signs you can´t miss it. After driving on a tarsealed road, take the junction to the left which takes you down a shitty, dusty old road to the beach. Follow signs.
