Beach description
You can get to Molhe from Ferragudo village on foot or by car. There is a convenient staircase from the coastal cliff- a natural observation deck- to the beach area. There are no toilets and showers on the Molhe, but there is free parking and a small pavilion that serves as a rental and restaurant in summer months. Here you can order a refreshing drink or local delicacy of fresh fish.
Molhe is ideal for swimming, snorkelling, surfing, and for sunbathing as well. Small crabs can be found in the soft and golden sand of the beach. During low tide the beach becomes much wider. Within wild weather, you can observe the waves break into the breakwater with noise.
When is it better to go
The beach season in Portugal lasts from the beginning of June until September, when the air temperature reaches +30°C and the water temperature - +19°C. It should be remembered that the Atlantic Ocean does not warm up well and cools quickly, lovers of a more comfortable temperature can swim in natural stone pools, which are quite numerous on the coast.
