Fodor's Expert Review Praia da Baleeira

This small, pretty beach next to the fishing port is dotted with rocks, so the sand is not the finest. On top of that, the beach can get quite windy, meaning this is not the most popular spot for sunbathers. Yet it is the perfect spot to sit and watch the fishing boats sailing in and out of the port. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; sunset.
