    I stayed in a house at walking distance of this beach, it was just a 15 minutes walk. The beach is very big and quiet. When you walk a little bit further from the parking place you are just alone over here.,even in July! I loved it. Nice sunsets on the cliff at the old windmill.

    I saw the Farol from the Praia and I knew I had to get up there. After asking a local, I found the inconspicuous staircase that led up to the hill. It wasn’t a real hike up, just 160 steps. The path was blocked by a small wooden boat. Not a biggie as I just tucked myself and squished my waythrough, careful not to trip and fall in the water-filled boat.

    The hike up was interesting. The staircase was slippery as it was covered with leaves and I had to go over a fallen tree to continue my climb.

    Once at the top, wowowow!!! Truly a spectacular view of the gentle bay, the thundering Atlantic, the many shades of colours of the mountain to the north, and the bluest of skies. I could have stayed here for hours just admiring the special landscape and seascape around me.

    The Farol itself is ordinary and small and some parts were covered with graffiti. But if the Farol is the impetus that makes you want to do the walk up, then do so. You will be rewarded with magnificent scenery.

    This Passadico is not on the place located at the map tripadvisor. There is one on the other side of this town.

    Very nice view above São Martinho do Porto. It's very windy, but it's natural. It is worthy to visit and easy to find.

    Only about 50-100m below the hill summit & official viewpoint.
    Either a 5-10 minute drive up from the town or a 15-20 minute walk up from the harbour quay, (Cais).
    Make sure to look for the semi-hidden path to the right/rear of the church down to the shrine for San Antonio. Also look for the 'legend' on the side wall of the church.

    Instead of climbing the steep little streets up into the old village, you can take the elevator at the tourist office. Working hours are from 9am to 9pm, and it is free. Very efficient.

    This beach is most of the time empty. You have to be careful however for the huge waves. You can drive down to the beach, but the last part of the path is quite difficult. But it is easy walking to this beach.
