Beach description
Praia do Almoxarife is also located in a large bay, but the site near the water is not very long. The beach is covered with dark volcanic sand and stones. This stretch of coast is well-maintained, in season you can not only relax by the ocean, but also take part in recreational activities and holidays that take place right on the beach. Praia do Almoxarife is more suitable for those who like to relax actively. During the day, it is ideal for water sports, and in the evening - for fun beach parties.
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.
