03 · Location

In context.

A wide, sandy Atlantic beach at a river mouth, backed by a protected dune system within a coastal natural park. It offers a consistent beach break over sand, working waist-high to overhead across skill levels, though it doesn't handle large swell well. Dangerous rip currents are a key hazard. Kite and windsurf activity is restricted near the bathing area in summer; the river mouth is closed to kiting. Lifeguards are on duty 15 June–15 September.
