Beach description
The entire coast and bottom of the coastal area are covered with dark volcanic sand. There is often a lot of unrest, but you can swim in the storm in the vast shallow water. There are showers and toilets on the beach, and representatives of rescue services are on duty during the swimming season.
Milicias is located next to the village of San Roque. The town has bars and restaurants, as well as a large selection of hotels of different price categories. Free parking is available near the beach.
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.
