Falésia Beach

Highlight • Beach

A very extensive, kilometer-long sandy beach. Great, colored sand cliffs, but no shade. Wonderful bathing beach, but: poisonous jellyfish at the end of June.

The Falesia beach is miles long - without annoying barriers/fences. Outstanding for a very extensive sand walk.

Cliffs of Praia da Falésia

Highlight • Natural Monument

Trapped in the red rock are pieces of weathered wood that are not roots. I have no explanation for that.
