Praia Nova Swimming Forecast

Crastos · Portugal

Praia Nova scores 77/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (advanced). The beach faces SE. A secluded, cliff-backed sandy cove reached only via a 60m tunnel passable at low tide, or a steep staircase, with no lifeguards or facilities. Around 300m of sand splits into two sections by rock formations, with rocky outcrops at the eastern end suited to snorkelling; water inside the cove is generally calm. Unstable cliffs carry rockfall risk, so keep clear of the cliff base. Avoid the tunnel at high tide, when its ceiling drops low.
