Praia dos Açores
Edit SpotAbout
The waves break everyday, some days only for begginers, some days for everyone.
The sand bank move everyday so the waves depends too much from the sand bank, not only from swell and wind. Better without wind, with South wind there are a lot of bumps and with North winds the waves decrease in size very fast!
Atmosphere:
The beach is popular with the people looking for peace and quiet, but sometimes the waves will drive you crazy!
