The sea is quite shallow with natural pools forming between the rocks making this part of the beach especially suitable for families with young children. There are a few sun loungers shaded with beach umbrellas available to hire, however the majority of visitors lie on the fine, soft sand and bring their own sunshade with them. Lifeguards patrol the beach in the summer months and the bathing conditions are good, but water sports play no great role here. If you want more action on the beach and in the sea, you should carry on to the neighbouring beach, Praia da Galé Leste.
