    Beautiful and unspoilt

    No negatives for this beautiful and unspoilt beach. Won't be this way in the near future. Take plenty of water and shade. Have sensible footware, flip flops no good.

    We were taken by a local guide Paulo who knew the owners of the cafe at the end of the beach. It’s an amazing 10km of unspoiled beach but a hotel is under construction and it will no doubt be one of several. Go now...More
