MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

This amazing uncrowded coastline at Praia da Areia Branca offers many beach breaks and reefs. With beach breaks in each spot suitable for learning and many waves along the coastline, is a great place to explore without the concern for large crowds.

Seasonal conditions
Praia da Areia Branca gets consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds and best around low tide when the tide is falling.

Crowd factor and local people
Sometimes on the best days you may see some people just on the main beach of Praia da Areia Branca. But only a few meters on the side, you can be totally alone and probably with even better conditions.

Characterization of surroundings/region

We are located in a region that is full of undiscovered natural and cultural attractions, in which sea and the countryside are linked. With twelve kilometers of coastline with beautiful beaches and jagged cliffs, combined with an interior still characterized by rurality and rich landscape where old mills are still operating. There’s a wide range of emblematic monuments characteristic of the region that can be visited, as well as a large paleontological estate at Lourinhã Museum.
