03 · Location

In context.

A wild, exposed Atlantic beach below a protected headland monument, with rocky reef and some sandy-bottom peaks. Reef breaks run right and left, best in winter/spring on SW swell with NW offshore wind; low tide is needed for safe reef entry. Bathing is officially prohibited near the lighthouse due to strong currents and rip tides, and that stretch has no lifeguard cover. Kitesurfing is permitted in easterly winds; nudism is tolerated in the cove sections.
