This coastal beach is amongst the most unrefined and rugged, serving as a haven for the small fishing vessels in the vicinity.

5

Nestled deep in a valley, Praia do Barranco offers a serene and peaceful escape. Due to its challenging access, the beach is relatively uncrowded, making it an ideal spot for some peace and quiet.
