Guincho
Edit SpotAbout
its the place where i pent all summer i could go any where else... thats all
Atmosphere:
for me is my beach break. i only surf there. we are in the water and we can see the muontain just sarting on our right side. for me its one of the most peaceful sings to do.
Additional Info:
the best spot in the beach is on the right side of the midle rocks. it's less crowded, and the waves, when good, can get very powerfull and perfect.
