Praia dos Alemães translates as ‘Beach of the Germans’. Ironically, most of the visitors are Dutch or British. They like the special character of the place and are happy to spend several hours there. Whatever language you speak. If you want to spend your day engaged in active pursuits, then this is the beach for you.

Excellent for families Praia dos Alemães was the first beach to install a floating playground a few metres off the coast. Children can let off steam on the inflatable platform and test their sporting talents on the slippery course. In the meantime parents can retreat into the shade of a sun umbrella, since there are plenty of lifeguards monitoring the beach.
